Hi @piedpiper, thanks for writing this.
I have very different beliefs, but reason in a similar way. I respect you for holding to your principles and taking responsibility for your moral positions and potential actions.
I look forward to reading more of your writing!
Thanks! I find that the conclusions aren't nearly as important as the method of reasoning. As long as we're honest, critical, and logical, we can always adapt to new information and refine our conclusions in time. Those are my favorite discussions - the ones where we're just a couple of fellow travelers exploring our thought processes to see where and why we diverged to end up at different conclusions.
