Incredible how we people of faith and passion can passionately create sparks that fly when discussing our theological differences.
It has been said that two subjects off-the-dinner-table discussions are religion and politics.
Well, I like to stir the pot with a little stimulating differences now and then, but some differences that cause sparks that might boil over and should be quickly extinguished.
I can win an argument, but I never will at the cost of a friend.
My fire extinguisher is: I respect your opinion. I love your companionship. I bless your enthusiasm.
(And I keep quiet after that.)
