If so, how and why?
Thanks!
No, not at all. Same minds, different beliefs, that's all it is. I always try to see the best in people even if I don't like or agree with what they're saying, theist and atheist alike, because basically behind every avatar there is a person with feelings trying to do their best in life.
Hey, this is great!
9,000,000,000 kudos to this!
"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."
