CL, if we're going to have any hope of a grown-up discussion, you're going to have to switch off your martyr chip. Not everything is a goddamn personal attack on you.
Fair enough, I apologize.
Since the faith is so close to my heart, I feel as though if you mock my faith while addressing me, you are mocking me. But I see now that you did not mean it that way. It is hard not to take it personal when it's something so close to me.
My apologies.
"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."
