Panzade, the quote you just posted makes me wonder if I understand the meaning. I agree that acknowledging another's faith is necessary and that an individual's mind is created for his/her own thoughts. My question is: does one's faith determine one's thoughts? I tend to think this is true, so I might be bringing my own prejudice to the saying.
I found this quote, but don't have an attribution. It is on spot.
Quote:Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.
Diane, to be honest, I've been debating Faith Vs Reason on the Lieberman thread and it was a reminder to be gentle with my opponents faith as I would want them to be with mine.
Panz, oh gentle one, we could all learn from you.
P, I have been watching you on that thread and you do me proud. I have almost posted to the thread many times but decided not to because you were doing such a fine job.
Learning from you as we speak...
Thanks, you don't know how welcome that is at this time.
Hey, Pan... do you need a hug? C'mere... (((Panzade))))
You are always a gentleman & one of my favorites on a2k. As FreeDuck said, you were handling yourself very well. I had to leave that thread... I should never even touch those... I don't know what I was thinking.

"The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because they are generally the same people."
G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936)
Hi Satt, Hi Olga (LTNH!)
Here's today's:
"Weapons are inauspicious instruments, not the tools of the enlightened. When there is no choice but to use them, it is best to be calm and free from greed, and not celebrate victory. Those who celebrate victory are bloodthirsty, and the bloodthirsty cannot have their way with the world." - Sun Tzu (c. 540-490 B.C.), The Art of War
Hello, Piffka!
Greetings!
Pssst: What does LTNH mean?
HI Pifka
"The tragic sense of life: our heroic acceptance of the suffering of others"

Hi, Piffka.
LaoZi (LaoZu) said similarly.
