I am not such an argument maker. I tend to back off rather quickly when
I encounter someone entrenched in their ideas. What I have a hard time
dealing with is black and white arguments, because I tend to see things
in shades of gray. Many people get all hung up on the gay rights
argument (for example) because they see people as either 100% male or
100% female, when in fact, there are many steps in between. If you can't
see that, then there is no point in arguing.

One thing I love about this list, is the diversity of opinion and the
ability to discuss religion and politics without any major flame wars.
We can spar but when it gets too serous we back off for the most
part. I think most of us respect the beliefs and opinions of those
that differ from us.
I love to argue. I will even argue the opposite point of what I
believe just for the fun of argument. And many times I argue tongue
in cheek statements.
Always meant to have fun, perhaps inform, never meant to browbeat or
proselytize or insult. I hope y’all take it like that. Apologies to
those that have make taken me too seriously. I am not ashamed of any
of my beliefs, but I respect your right to have yours too. (even
though they are wrong... Winking smile )
