That's not really my point, though.
My point is that he is allowing you to fight his battles for him,
and I'm just wondering if he has ever shown you the same consideration
...I'm not suggesting that you only defend your fellow Theists,
or only defend those who return the favour.
I know that's not the case.
I'm saying that he is sullying his own honour by letting you do his dirty work for him,
which doesn't help the very case you are trying to defend: his defendability.
I don't think he's here seeing what I'm saying. If he was, he'd probably tell me not to worry about it. As he has done so in the past.
"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."
