The Pharisee and the Tax Collector

No, I wasn't saying that. You are being an oaf.

Is an oaf better than being a fool or am I getting worse not better?

I can't always tell if you are doing it deliberately or whether you are genuinely hapless.

And then what? You want me to copy stuff from here and paste it on your new thread?

I'm trying to be nice here, not attempting to attack you.
You have not really addressed my question yet. You did give me good information
but it stopped short of what the real question was.

If you want a new thread we can make one you or I, don't care which.

The question not answered was and is, why have a low opinion of someone about
something they think is true?

The two points I used to help you see why I asked were.
If we only accept things as truth because we like them then it reflects on us.
If we accept things as truth no matter our feelings about them, that doesn't.

You seem to be painting everyone's acceptance of truth as if they are showing
you what type of people they are. If the search for truth is find something that
agrees with you than you'd be spot on, if not you are painting people in away
that is false don't you think?

It doesn't matter much what you think you are up to.

I have said no such thing. Just read what I have written.

Which words of mine "seem to be painting" this? Just address what I have said. I have been clear.

Read the conversation and see the context of those words. Good grief.

Think if over I have to leave now and will come back and see what you wrote.

You want me to "think over" your getting-the-wrong-end-of-the-stick?

I can take it, how do these words mean anything other than what they say
in some other context?

Just look at them in the context.

Okay, I think you are correct. Sorry for bugging you on this.

The word "all" is crucial and it's related to the statements I'd made previously.
