I guess it helps believers, though, to think that the opposition "just doesn't get it"...probably easier than considering that they themselves got it wrong. We see how hard that can be for a believer, here in this thread.
When someone here keeps saying I should believe in something because it's written on some random sentence in the bible, after I have already explained that I am Catholic and Catholicism is not based on sola scriptura, I can only guess that they simply still don't understand. That's a more charitable assumption than to think they did understand but are just being obtuse on purpose.
"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."
