I am not always against arguement. It just depends on what happens to come out of my mouth, or keyboard in this case, at the time. I still stand by my point that all respectable religions strive for the same thing. But that doesn't mean I don't respect their differences.
On a side note: Do you know if debate is still encouraged at higher levels on Buddhism? Just wondering it would support a theory I had that I think might work out.
