The Intersection of Faith and Doubt: finding common ground.

[XK9_Knight]

Actually what I said there, I was referring to things that are not superficial.

Yes, I didn’t wish to imply you were; I think you hit the nail on the head with that comment (or at least a nail?). I think what you said carried a lot of weight; we have the same values in common and I’m pleased with that. But like you said, our reasons for holding to them are mutually exclusive. Although, I wouldn’t stop with that, this sort of discussion has to be worked through thoroughly before it yields more than just bouncing ideas off one another. But I’m looking forward to delving deep as time goes on.

I think American football is boring and confusing and I actually don't really care for sports much at all. Chocolate is always nice but it's messy and hard to clean up afterwards so I prefer to leave it out.

I'm joking. ;P

Try to remember that we may attack your beliefs, but we're not likely to attack you without provocation.

Oh, is that how it is, huh!?


All kidding aside, I’ll usually ask before I say something tendentious.

Religious beliefs are probably the least important things in peoples lives up until the time they start to direct them generally or impact on others.

Politics is more important as it has an actual impact and in America, the Middle East and other religiously backwards countries that's where it gets messy.

I suppose you could take a pragmatic approach to politics, but the most the government can do is regulate your actions. Religious or not, your world view plays a major role in your private life, no?

I’m very interested in politics, but frankly I’m not ready to open that can of worms just yet (I don’t have the stomach for it).
