Reply to "Should Christians Refute False/Cult Teachings On Public Forums?"

I tend to think it's fascinating how each person can see "truth" as something so different depending on our experiences and backgrounds.  I look at things from a science, medicine, healing, and teaching perspective, and sometimes I have to step back and remind myself that when I see things they are through my own filter.

 

For instance, when I see a kidney bean my silly mind thinks back to literally seeing kidneys and I have a little chuckle, while someone else might think of them from the nutrition or protein or calorie or seeing them grow perspective and think I am gross and weird for thinking of autopsies.  When I think of Catholic schools I think of the ones to which I went and the experiences I had, and when I think of "family" I am sure my viewpoint is most likely completely different than what might pop into someone else's head.  

 

My obvious facts may be totally ridiculous to someone else, but I am glad that there is opportunity to share and learn if we all have open ears and minds.  I wouldn't serve pork to a guest I knew didn't eat it whether I like it or not, for example.  What I eat or don't is my personal choice, and for me that has to go for others as well.  I just figure that I am only responsible for my own choices, behaviors, and thoughts, and I can't make anyone think my way even if I wanted to.  Variety really can be the spice of life or it can divide us.
