A single line instead of a whole text? Do you have to cut & paste or what? Sorry I'm not so computer literate. Just for g.p. I click on the quotation mark thingy and it turns red. But then I don't understand how to go and get the quote. Dumb, huh? Oh, as for the posts before this one,.. I know yall said I didn't need to respond, but I feel I need to. Yall's point is well taken. Thank You. MOVIN' ON.

If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. If someone maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator, you feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of arithmetic or geography that his opinion shakes your own contrary conviction. The most savage controversies are those about matters as to which there is no good evidence either way. Persecution is used in theology, not in arithmetic, because in arithmetic there is knowledge, but in theology there is only opinion. So whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is going beyond what teh evidence warrants.
