“When someone is giving you their theology, their God-words, you should listen hard and be very gentle. The time to deliver your God-words is when you are asked.” The Real Live Preacher) The temptation is to jump right in and try to make a point. The better solution is to wait. This works well in other situations, too, not just in religious discussions. Someone once gave this advice: “Hold your tongue.” ;-) Jack
FROM M.T. IN PA: Here's a related quote from Albert Einstein:
"If A is success in Life, then A equals X plus Y plus Z. Work is X, Play is Y, and Z is keeping your mouth shut."
FROM J.L. IN MI: Very appropriate for the political atmosphere. Gosh, it's unreal the lack of respect on both sides! I am really trying hard not to give my opinion when it's not asked for under any circumstance! It's tough though as everyone wants to be heard. I will try harder today!
FROM CJL IN OH: Remember the statement: What is the question? before you speak!
FROM MOLINER C.F.: Today, you have inspired me to resist tempation.
