Love what you have to say. You have been in there 'debating' haven't you. You have the first hand experience.

We are all on the same voting side. That's what matters. I try to stay neutral if possible. They won't change our minds and we can't change their's. We have to agree to disagree and stay civil. We are Democrats first here is how I feel.

Sometimes I think that conversion experiences and worship services elevate a state of emotional ecstasy that confirms their belief to them. They feel it and and experience a validation of the Divine.

We can't take that away from them. We will never know what they personality experience. Its their reality.

Ours may be appreciation for a sunset or the mountains that us all atwitter.
