It was all fine until this. I was going to give you kudos and literally welcome you into my heart. I won't know. This made me cringe it was so bad. There's definitely something very wrong with your attitude. I just can't put my finger on it.
Coming in here with the title of "Catholic" immediately makes people suspicious because most theists who come here come in hopes of converting others. I had to prove to/show people that that's not why I was here. Once people figured this out, I was welcomed with open arms.
"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."
