Thus I put little credit to the virtues of any purported method of relating because those purporting it are usually just trying to justify their own tendencies.<br /><br />I see all methods as useful depending on the situation, the person and the moment.

I tend to seek common ground with others who are full-fledged religionists (as in believing in special revelations and orthodoxies and such). I find myself in No man's land because I'm too religious for the nonbelievers and too non-believing for the orthodox believers! Ah, well. What is wrong with agreeing to disagree and just loving everyone as fellow humans? If everyone just embraced their ignorance and the difficulty of being able to know everything in the first place, it would make for a more peaceful environment. Okay, so think I. <br /><br />For my part, I wouldn't stop fellowshipping with anyone who tried to live a decent, moral life and make the world a better place for everyone. Any such person is a brother or sister of mine. Doug Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18027574195522869708noreply@blogger.com
