SteveII, regarding the op, and based on my experience at Abilene Christian University, I'm aware that NT Christians feel a special oneness and connection with their god, which feels absolutely true and objective to them; it is a part of who they are (IMO, like a nerve), as knowing that they are a part of a broader reality of love keeps them connected with their god for eternity.
Now, with all due respect, are NT Christians willing to share the world with people who think differently (different sense-making processes), and are they open/willing to see their particular beliefs as a viewpoint among many viewpoints that does not have the same meaning/validity for out-groups as it does for them? Hence, when putting your deity's love into practice, is there room for accepting peoples' differences and acknowledging the validity of other starting points? Thanks for your patience and understanding throughout this thread, SteveII.
