And I'm completely ok with that. I'm not trying to "debate," in the sense that I'm trying to convince anyone to think like I do. Just trying to explain my point of view while trying to understand yours as well.
Belief in God isn't something that I think can come via forum discussions, anyway, and I'd never try to pretend like it was.

"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."
