I always find it a great comfort to know someone cares enough about me to remember me in prayer. No matter what their belief. If I in need, it is good to know someone is beseaching on my behalf. If I am wrong about something I want to find out before I leave this world. I know that not everyone believes like I do. But then I didn't believe like I do yesterday & I am apt to change before I walk much further.
I figure If I can be considerate & tolerate of your beleifs (or lack thereof) you can be considerate of mine. I find it interesting & profitable to discuss your views so why shouldn't I be willing to share mine with you. Isn't that how we grow & how else can we appreciate our diverse natures if we stiffle one side?or the other?
If on the other hand I take a Haughty stand & only listen if I agree with you, don't we both become the poorer for it. If we lable a Christain (for example ) as intolerant & yet refuse him room to share don't we become what we accused him of?
Just a thought Charcloth
