I am not disagreeing with the drama bit. If you like soap operas, then great.
I think "truth" is there for all to be grasped. I try to get into the truth of a debate, into the info. Yeah,I get personal, and all, but I remeber that that is not what matters.
So would you put me in the same category as vishva? Because it certainly sounds like it. I got s ...[text shortened]... d you draw the line? Where should I draw the line? (serious. i respect your views, dear Agerg)
I don't think there is a requirement to draw any lines. I acknowledge that you are open minded with respect to matters about spirituality and would draw your inspirations from a number of different genres of belief etc... as you'll acknowledge I lack this disposition.
As for differences between yourself ond Vishva, I fail to recall any matter of discussion where without any reading or education on certain matters you assert with unbreachable confidence that any views counter to yours are flat out wrong. Neither do I recall any lengthy and contiguous series of posts where you denigrate the intellect of individuals or large groups of people for lacking your beliefs. Furthermore, you're willing to concede that there varying degrees of faith underlying your views yet Vishva does not. Most importantly you're willing to engage in debate and discussion, Vishva is willing only to preach.
You mention a number of times in different threads that Vishva is 'baring his soul' and telling his story, and for that we should see some virtue in his posts. I disagree with this; most of us here have been (implicity or explicitly) 'baring our "souls"' as we rack up posts and points of discussion which differentiate our views from others or highlight our own positions of belief or disbelief, and so I argue that your point here is moot.
To finish, I don't put you in any category similar to Vishva other than mutual respect/similarity of belief...I too have come to respect your own views (though I very rarely agree with them!) :]
