The difficulties of cross cultural communication.

55. Oh, so saying that someone says something that you consider stupid

and repeating it multiple times is not saying that person is stupid.

But someone implying, in your opinion, that you might not be able to understand something is different. Not only different, but much worse.

OK. Do you see how hypocritical that is?

You only think you perfectly understand it, but you don't. It has nothing to do with critical thinking. It has to do with your personal prejudices creating filters which change things to suit your own agenda.

Please do not tell me what I think. It's irritating as hell.

Let me be clear. I do not think that we must completely respect everyone of faith and not question their beliefs. I have never said that and I do not believe that. You have made that up. You have just provided additional proof of the OP's point. You hear what you want to hear not what was said.

And that happens to everyone…. every single human on earth. It's illogical and it has zero to do with critical thinking.

I do have a problem with that. You are not smarter or more rational or better due to your "critical thinking". It fails you at times, just like it fails everyone. You have not discovered the one way and your saving people by showing them the faults in their beliefs is no different than others who are into salvation.

That is exactly the way you address the topic.
