Copy paste:
I'm not saying that I agree with praying for someone to get cancer in any scenario. I think doing so is wrong, even if it ends up being for the greater good.
And then you continued with "but if you look at it from his perspective..." That's called justifying.
For the record, I never claimed you agreed, so you can put that straw man away.
I'm not justifying anything. Justifying would mean I'm trying to say it was right. I clearly say I think it's wrong. Twice.
Trying to understand where someone is coming from does not equal agreeing with their stance. I was trying to understand where he was coming from, and offering my perspective to others who seemed to be trying to understand where he was coming from too.
Hm, doesn't justifying a behavior mean you think the behavior is ok??
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
