"The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us..." should we be grateful?

(July 19, 2015 at 10:11 pm)Whateverist the White Wrote: You've never offended me but there have been more than one point where I feared I might offend you.  So far, so good.  I hope you will take it as a sign of respect that I won't refrain from saying that which might challenge or unsettle you.  In relationships generally it is best to put it all out there early and often, let the other person decide if the fit is right.  The many kudos you get for your exemplary interaction with atheists will mean more (to us) if it is the light of seeing us clearly for what we are.

Thank you for your kind words!

It's the fact that you actually care enough to worry about offending me, that solidifies the fact that nothing you say to me will offend me lol.

I don't know if that made any sense to you.

But basically, it's not the challenge of my beliefs itself that offends me, it's when someone doesn't care (which is made clear by the way they talk, etc). So please feel free to talk to me openly! Shy
"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."
