Can I tell my wife that I love Ebbie? ;-)

One thing I really crave is rich discussion. It's nice to talk with people who share my thinking, but it's not often that it's rich. It's difficult to talk with people who attack my ideas, because that puts me in a defensive mode.

What's wonderful is when I'm with people who also want to exchange differing ideas. THAT'S when discussion can be rich. And this thread has been very rich so far. Thank you all very much. That's why I like you so much.

And Ebbie, my wife thinks it's wonderful that I love so many women, including you.

P.S. So often, there are atheists in the forum who say something and expect me to disagree with them. And I want to say, "Wait, wait - that's exactly the way I see it. Don't shut me out because I wear the label of 'Catholic!' I agree with you."
