[QUOTE="njdriver, post: 2676210, member: 4596"] I am perfectly willing to carry on a dialog with anyone about anything, at least in those areas I have either a passing or experiential knowledge of. Conversation to me is NOT the act of me trying to get you to accept my point of view, nor to dissuade you from yours. It is merely the sharing of ideas and ideals in a hopefully collegial manner. [I][COLOR=#ff0000]"...tensions between you "holier than thou's"[/COLOR][/I] [I][COLOR=#ff0000][/COLOR][/I] [COLOR=#000000]You're mis-characterizing where the actual tensions lie. It's not between those who have similar spiritual views, rather with those who are somehow offended the dialog has taken a religious tone at all. I make no apologies, nor will I ever make apologies for my faith. It is the guiding factor in everything I do, say or think, much the same way liberals cling to the same tired rhetoric whenever they hear something that doesn't align with their ideological worldview. It's exactly what we see in many colleges today; free speech being shut down, Christian or Conservative speakers either being dis-invited or protested into abandoning planned speeches. Precious snowflakes who need safe spaces, puppies and crayons, to shield them from views they were never exposed to during their liberal K-12 experience. [/COLOR] [I][COLOR=#ff0000]"...that's when it gets dangerous."[/COLOR][/I] [COLOR=#000000] What's really dangerous is the coming revolution as a result of the ideological tug-of-war occurring in our political arena. Gone are the days when both parties wanted more or less the same things, with disagreement being on how to get there. The Democrat party has gone full-tilt to the Uber-Left. They have taken off their mask and are showing us how they really feel about anyone or anything that differs from their own point of view, or does not cede its will to them. If that is how you will choose to conduct yourself in this thread, by judging its content or by casting aspersions, I will graciously withdraw from it, because I don't like repeating myself, or pissing in the wind.
