Tolerant Believer
New Member
Hello, everyone. Obviously, I am the new kid here, but I have been reading threads for a little while. There is one thing I have noticed that seems to be common to most threads. It seems that a large amount of people are very hateful and intolerant toward anyone who disagrees with them. This seems to me to be counterproductive, if you are looking to have a true discussion about anything. Not only do you make yourself out to be a jerk, but you undermine your own position, by appearing to be afraid to be wrong, forcing you to attack others. Hearts and minds can only ever be changed or informed when civility and a sincere search for the truth are staples on both sides.
In all my posts, regardless of subject, I will do my absolute best to treat all people and all positions with respect and dignity. I will not insult you if you disagree with me, I will try to understand your position. If I do not agree with you, I will posit a reasoned, respectful refutation of your position. I ask only that you extend me the same courtesy. Together, we can all attain a deeper understanding of the truths of the world.
