Approaching those on the dogmatic path...

So, it's not a matter of me not accepting them. The roles are switched, as they are trying to convince me that their view is accurate, and of the ramifications if I don't adhere to said view.

As long as you understand that there may be a lesson for you to pay attention to here, I think you're participating in useful work. Perhaps there is an exercise here in empathy and putting oneself in the others' shoes. Perhaps there is an exercise here in learning that ol' fourth density trick of loving the server while rejecting the service.

I can tell you pretty clearly and concisely the strategy I employ in situations like this: it would be to find the mystery in their (admittedly dogmatic) belief system and bond on that. The wonderful thing about mystery and infinity is that they expand to encompass everything the waking self is trained to filter out. Even in the most dogmatic of dogmatic religious paths, there are questions that defy a straightforward answer. As a very shallow example, one could ask "where is heaven?" or perhaps less shallowly to explore the dimensions of faith unbounded by the dogma.

This is largely an exercise in what has been called "imaginative labor", or the task of mentally becoming the other-self in order to love and accept that other-self more fully. It is indeed a most arduous and interesting "service" that you can perform, because those of Ra always mention how becoming transparent personalities allows love to flow through us, and that means finding creative ways to route around the porous but frustrating confines erected by theology and ideology. Practicing a totalizing acceptance here will show you many things about yourself you may not accept; it is fertile ground.

I think I will simply send them love without actively engaging.

Hey, you can't go wrong with this. But, then again, you can't really go wrong at all. I don't think you need a lot of guidance here except by reflecting on these matters and exploring your feelings and resistance to absolute acceptance, where useful information and feelings always abound.
