I am more the on the fence type myself because I realize, no one actually knows the "truth". So I listen to different perspectives and respect opinions. I try to hold a neutral ground and not be judgmental, listening while questioning. Now, this questioning may not always be toward the individual that sparked it, but my own reasoning in my mind. Sometimes I realize its better to let people talk "their truth" and not question it, as that may lead to long conversations full of ego that I am not really up to. But sometimes I realize this kind of engagement in necessary, so I guess it is something I need to work on.

I always find it useful to keep in mind that most of the time there is no "THE" truth, just your truth, my truth, her truth, their truth and so on.
People find themselves at different points along their journeys, and one of the things I realize I need to always work on is trying to meet people where they are, rather than expect them to meet me where I am.
Appreciate the thoughtful comment!
Very well said. Meet them where they are at and get to understand their perspective. A lot of times too, people make some intriguing points based on their beliefs but how they bring it across is a different story.
