Random Religious Thoughts

Ok well you can remove that part and the rest still applies
But also when you are all about something,
On some level it forces it upon anyone who interacts with you

I make a case. People are free to refute it or propose alternative explanations. I am not forcing anyone into anything. If my case is strong and there are no alternative explanations, then it's not me forcing anyone into anything. It's just what logic, reason, and evidence dictate.

I have also not placed anyone in the "other" category. That was never my intention. What I was saying is that categories exist. It's not as if just because someone is in a different category to me that this means I dislike them or have an "otherness" towards them. It just means we are different in this way. I have people in my Bible study at my apartment complex who are radically different from me in their politics. However, we all still get along, despite our differences. Differences are fine. No two people are exactly the same. People will see things differently. This does not necessitate a kind of animosity towards them, even though the current culture may want to lead me to do so. I'm simply not going to stop being someone's friend because we differ on something, because I view that as immature.

Ok cool
For the record, I wasn't saying it was wrong of you to function that way or anything
Just something to be mindful/careful of, which sounds like you solidly are
Thanks for not trying to combat me or take it super personally, not my intent at all

I love discussing this stuff. I just think we can disagree and still be cool with each other. People see things differently; Let's talk about it, is my view.

I don't know you well enough yet to know what we really agree or disagree on, but I know there's a lot of common ground.
I'm the type of person that just leaves a lot of things open for growth and interpretation though.
Our brains want closed circuits and I fight against it a bit.
