anglophone comments on Jan 10, 2022:

I would suggest a more nuanced approach. I am content to let all fools believe their own idiocies when such idiocies affect only their own lives. However, I take great exception whenever any such fool tries to ram his own idiocies down other people's throats. This includes all religious ...

This is becoming so common these days. Seems these people refuse to learn from what's going on with their own ilk.

anglophone replies on Jan 9, 2022:

@Madisonian I know @Triphid very well. I find him to be a fine thinker and a wonderful human being. Can I offer some ideas on a person-to-person basis? Everybody has limitations, and nobody's limitations should be seen as being in any way shameful. "Failure" is an emotive word, and I do not like it. Failure is an inevitable consequence of striving for things, and achievement also arises from striving for things. In my view, Western society as a whole focuses far too much on failure and fails (word chosen deliberately!) to celebrate success. There are advantages to being a slow reader; it can mean that you are taking your time to consider the words that you are reading and also that you are thinking about the author's point of view. I thank you for your complimenting me. I will return the favour by saying that you have done very well in staying a member of this community.

@Madisonian No worries about the having too many people to respond to - I think all of us have been there. You may find it interesting and/or illuminating to read the scholarship of those as well as other religious traditions.

anglophone replies on Jan 9, 2022:

The problem arises when they refuse to learn from their mistakes. Such refusal seems to be a forte of Evangeloon.
