It must be time to just say "NO".
NO to being understanding! NO to trying to understanding the others point of view (no matter how horrid it is). NO to being just so caring of another's point of view that we stand back and be so good that we suppress what we know to be right to hear and care about the others right to their view so much that we just listen and do not say what we know....that it is wrong (wanting so much to respect the other view). We believe that..we believe in the right of the other to believe what they believe, but we have forgotten our own moral responsibility is to just say no when it is wrong. There is an absurd amount of wrong..blanten,screaming amount of wrong. We must take the stand ourselves to know that it is wrong and say so...no matter how much we want to be caring of the others point of view.
