Yes---I have had many an interesting long discussion with people who can talk about their beliefs and opinions without getting defensive and declaring another persons thoughts and opinions as wrong.
We can learn so much from people who are diff from us--- what on earth can we learn from people who think and believe everything we do?
Understanding and compassion for humanity needs a place kept in this world.
At the end of the day------ we all want the same basic things-- for our loved ones to be safe, healthy and happy. On that base level we have something in common with every other person on the planet.
