That is a very interesting comment. You are, of course, correct. But then, so is Dan. It matters what your perspective is, and what side of the window you are looking out/in from.

It is that very example of relativism, or perspective, that makes tolerance so important. Many times and in many situations, there is a large element of "gray area" wherein both parties are correct from their perspective, or their model of the world.

Someone once asked me a question that I thought was very thought provoking. I will ask it of the thread. Does anyone do anything inappropriate, given their model of the world?

Well, yes I guess my wording was not to purty good...:o)

My point was that while Christians are called to spread the gospel of good news, we cannot MAKE anyone change their belief. Only God "gives the increase".

I just ask that those who do not believe understand why we do what we do. It is up to them to accept or reject it.

Sorry for my poor choice of words.
