It doesn't mean that they never really agreed with you, or that they don't understand your position, or that it implies your position is less valid because of that.

This seems particularly dishonest since everyone gets their panties in a knot when someone says to an ex-theist that they never truly believed, but somehow it doesn't work the other way? Dodgy

Well said, Vic. Thanks for being honest and objective.
"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."
