That still doesn't answer what respecting a decision means.
Asking for constructive criticism for something someone else does doesn't make any sense.
I can either ask for a reason someone else does something or I can ask for constructive criticism for something I do.
But I think you're trying to say that I can ask for reasons someone decides to believe something in a positive way, but I can't criticize the decision itself? I can't agree with that.
And why defer to a theologian? If I believe something I should know why I believe it. Deferring to an authority just means that someone else is doing the thinking and I'm just following because I'm being told to. That's the kind of mindset that leads to terrible things.
