Iagree with X, as hard as it is you can only teach compassion and tolerance is by showing compassion and tolerance.

Well, I agree with X, as well, and with you--and with many many others. Certainly, I rely on this kind of calmmon sense from you regulars to keep me in certain boundaries. I appreciate that.

Nonetheless, I recognise a special necessity in dealing daily with absolute believers. As you said, reasoning will have no impact on those that already know the Truth. Some times we humans need to allow ourselves a little emotion in order to keep from being backed over a cliff. People with tumours growing out of their heads have a right to express some righteous indignation from time to time just as well as believers. We have much to be indignant about.

In terms of your general argument--I accord 100 % with you on that.
