On almost everything you and I have ever discussed on here, I think you’re wrong—and you think I’m wrong. But—
Quit putting yourself down! And realize that if someone argues with something that you’ve said, they are paying you the respect of being worth the argument. If someone doesn’t argue with you, then either (a) they agree with you, or (b) they don’t think you’re worth the effort—which has nothing to do with whether or not they have any hopes of converting you to their position. I have learned from every single person that I’ve ever argued with on here—every single one—even if, in the end, I still think they’re wrong; I have still learned.

I think that there are many things you and I would agree on, but spiritual matters is the one area we don't. But that's okay because I have learned alot from you. I appreciate the sentiment that replies to my posts is a sign of respect. That's good to know.
I'm a realist. I know my weaknesses. I express them through self depreciating humor. I think I stuck my foot in my mouth again starting this thread. It was more a spontaneous reaction than real concern whether anyone respects my posts or not. It was more of a joke than anything else.
But, I can't sing, can't dance, can't tell jokes, too short to be a cowboy, and it's too wet to plow.
