The bottom line is that if you take a stand for the light, you should be prepared to receive resistance from the darkness.

Right.

And if you take a stand for darkness, you should be prepared to receive resistance from the light.

A while back, I posted that offensiveness does not imply correctness, and correctness does not imply offensiveness.

Quix, you "INDEEDed" that (or similar word).

The principle still applies ... resistance from those who disagree does not imply correctness.

Folks should not get too proud if their message is resisted or offends. "It don't mean nothin'." It just gives them something in common with the mohammedans ...

Perhaps for those with eyes to see and ears to hear, I could be slightly clearer:

1. RESISTANCE from disagree (B) DOES NOT IMPLY CORRECTNESS of (A)

2. OFFENSIVENESS OF (A) does not imply CORRECTNESS.

3. INOFFENSIVENESS OF (A) does not imply CORRECTNESS.

4. CORRECTNESS of (A) does not imply INOFFENSIVENESS.

5. CORRECTNESS OF (A) does not imply necessary OFFENSIVENESS.

6. CORRECTNESS OF (A) WILL OFTEN, LIKELY TRIGGER OFFENSE in
