In response to both of you:

I have made a decision. Free speech or not, the above discourse goes. I don't know what the prompt is, but it makes no sense and is totalling uneducating to anyone reading it. Sorry if this offends you, but tough toenails!

Sure, why not!...
chances are though, I will save my comments for another time and place. It is obvious we do not agree on much which concerns *Truth*...

» Pinky102 - A Great Lesson

.
One of the greatest lessons I ever learned in life was that people don't have to agree on anything in order to enjoy the relationships they have.

In fact, the secret to a happy relationship lies in there someplace.

The main problem with cults begins when every one is forced to come into agreement on every little item that's raised. What on earth would anyone want to have a relationship where all the members were in complete 100% agreement. Sounds like Alice in the Looking Glass to me.

Can those who are happily married imagine an intimate relationship in which both parties are in complete agreement? Boooorrrrring! But it's a difficult job to be able to learn how to accept those with whom one doesn't agree. You have to learn to accept the other person for who it is that they are. You know, for better or worse, richer or poorer and in sickness and health. The inability to get along with those with whom you disagree is the main blockage to a happy relationship.

But, how would I know? smile

In response to Pinky102:

You're right. But when parties begin to get nasty with each other, and there is an arbiter, the arbiter will find a way to cut off the interaction, or the whole premise comes tumbling down. That's what I did. Now, each of you who were involved are much calmer, more level-headed, and ready to start afresh. Thanks for being the adults I know you are.

In the Spirit of Truth ( how do you like that, Bo???), I remain your friend.
