Isn't that exactly what we've been wanting the theists to do? Quit preaching and let us reach our own conclusions?
No need for preaching (from her). She made a claim, and I challenged her to back it up with a good example. That is the opposite of asking her to preach.
Up to her to not provide any, but I am not being unreasonable in seeing it as her being unable to find one such example. If she did, she would have likely provided it.
What claim did I make?
"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."
