For instance, when someone posts their first thread, I always make it a point to kudos them... even if their post argues the watchmaker argument. Sometimes I kudos people because I agree with them, but there are a plethora of other reasons I might do it. Keeping my own varied motivations in mind, I try not to read too much into people's kudos.
Yeah A kudos doesn't necessarily mean I agree with everything the post said. In that thread in particular, I'm kudosing everyone's responses as a way to show acknowledgement, that I have read and appreciated their response and participation in the debate.
With that being said, what Neo said isn't incorrect, technically. Death itself has no greater meaning if nothing comes afterwards. That doesnt mean you cant die for an honorable cause, like soldiers in battle.
"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."
