And I could pull ten people off the streets who believe in the Christian God. Does that make them right?

You see my truth as "ticked." Even in this you illustrated for me the relative nature of the world. Fascinating. It all unfolds so beautifully. I see you as backed into a corner defending absolutes, where absolutes don't work. We are in different worlds, all of us. And the more you tell me how right you are, the more you convince me of this, because your truth is NOT my truth no matter how many times you say it is. And to try to enforce your opinion by an allusion to what "might" happen if you interviewed 10 fictional people? Is this supposed to be an argument? That's a completely relative way to go at the question. But of course, you might not see it that way.

"I bet I could pull ten people off the street to read your first three posts this evening and they would all think you were
ticked at me."

The majority wins? No matter what they say? So if the 10 people said I wasn't ticked you would be ...wrong? Heehee. It's all relative. I'm glad you've come around to this.
