The difficulties of cross cultural communication.

61. Who is we? You don't speak for anyone but yourself.

You are really missing the point here.

You make huge assumptions about what religious people mean when they say something. By your own admission, you extrapolate from their statements that they actually mean or imply other things. You even say right here that you then draw conclusions about the larger implications of what they say.

This has nothing to do with you being dense and it's certainly not about you being logical, because it's not driven by logic at all. Your own experiences, perspective and prejudices may prevent you from truly understanding what someone is saying to you at times. Because of that your interpretations, assumptions and extrapolations may be completely wrong.

This is not unique to you, it's true for everyone.

The only thing is has to do with theology is that you may not understand the language.
