arghhh, I am really starting to get frustrated being in this thread. I'm going to take a break.
There are OBVIOUS biases among some of the more dominant people in here. The fact that you cannot see these, but everyone else can is telling in itself. I'll fully admit I have my own biases, in fact everyone indeed does. But the difference is, I'm not in denial about them.
The beauty of a forum like this with varying political positions and knowledge is that we can learn from each other. This of course is only possible when people are able to let their guard down and are willing to hear out the other side before making a conclusion. What good does it do anybody to cling to one sided views and remain their for eternity?
And before I get any snarky comments about "heed your own advice" especially in regards to my faith, know that I do this regularly. Though I may have certain convictions and beliefs, I frequently have insightful discussions with friends who hold to very different beliefs (like Atheism) I can say without hesitation I have learned a great deal from these discussions.
I am glad there are some people in here who seem to know everything. My question is, why even entertain a forum like this? If you come to the table with and ego and know it all attitude, you will never learn anything. Your presuppositions (right or wrong) make it impossible for you to engage in any thoughtful conversation. ( and for the record, this isn't directed only towards Dr.B)
Peace
