My answer is #5

I'm a believer and many things are sacred for me, God included naturally.
"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."

I sort of have a vague feeling that something is sacred but I can't think what just now. I'll get back to you on it but I sort of suspect that you might doubt my sincerity when I do.

Please do not respond to this hiccup thread. I'm asking that it be deleted. There is another that does include the poll. Thanks.

Not me.  Did you mean Cath-y.

Any chance you guys would like to move to the other thread by this name that actually includes the poll?

OK no worries, definitely won't respond to it at all. Last thing you need is content to be added to a thread that you accidentally created and wish were gone.





















How's the weather where you are?

I'd say no multiple threads is sacred, or should be.

I keep thinking of Kashmir by Led Zeppelin but I don't know why. Maybe because a snarky bandmate once called it boring when I was pretentious.
