I find my conversations with Republicans and Albertans quite interesting, because they allow me to better understand where people come from, and facilitate finding common ground. Mostly, I find we can come to agree on some facts, by specifically removing the politics and "97%" arguments and by showing that the other side have wrongs too. The leftists in my entourage push their moral superiority on 100% of topics, this leftist prefers the conversation.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07797679479442533935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2072574530568270077.post-40196288694960021532021-09-25T01:01:44.342-04:002021-09-25T01:01:44.342-04:00The earth is only 6,000 years old, and dinosaurs w...The earth is only 6,000 years old, and dinosaurs were there in the Garden of Eden. A truly open-minded scientist wouldn't be afraid to reexamine the evidence. Of course, I didn't come here to argue. I already know the truth . . . but I'm left wondering if your grandfather was a Christian, since many of our faith had trouble fitting dinosaurs into the picture during the early days of fossil digging. There is a far better understanding now, among Christian scientists; but the silent majority remains brainwashed by the educational system of the day, and would rather fight over video games and virtue-signaling.<br /><br />Anyway, thanks for the cool story.unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17666840426906843965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2072574530568270077.post-38355707918163200712021-06-19T02:26:23.723-04:002021-06-19T02:26:23.723-04:00Yes - good eye!
