This all sounds very reasonable, but that is the problem. When will people realise that one cannot be neutral about spiritual things? If I believe my viewpoint of God to be true, how can I possibly admit that a different viewpoint has validity without undermining my own belief? I mean, I’m perfectly prepared to admit that ones attitude to people who have strayed off the path in one way or another should be respectful, but I dont see any virtue in sugaring the pill by refusing to tell them that they are wrong.

I never said you should refrain from telling someone when you believe their viewpoint to be wrong, but that’s not the same things as demeaning them for disagreeing with you.

Exactly right! The world has worked hard to redefine our basic concepts of right and wrong until they revolve around not hurting peoples’ feelings!

But we in America, Europe and the Anglosphere are the only people whose worldview has been thus warped. We must regain a clearer view of reality or we are toast.
