My objection was to Irrational accusing the guy of wanting everyone to suffer when what he actually said was "I wish everyone had a life as beautiful as mine."
Regardless of whether you personally think his life sounds good or not, HE does think it's good. So his statement obviously doesn't mean he wants people to suffer.
I was polite and direct. Your response to me was totally evasive in that despite defending church doctrine you now choose not to argue about it. In addition you devoted half your reply (measured by number of sentences) to continuing your argument with another member. Quite frankly, you're being disingenuous.
What? You replied to what was one of my responses to that member, so yes, that was the topic of my discussion.
And just because I pick my battles and don't choose to argue with ya'll all the time about every single issue we disagree on doesn't mean I'm being disingenuous. So, shoot me I guess.
"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."
