You said -- "Ping to #130 for more info."

I appreciate the information. However, this other poster is not recognizing one thing that makes his particular personal view and preference -- of *no relevance*.

It is like this. I personally don't believe I should be going to a Ouija board and getting information about things. Okay, we can all recognize that about my personal views and preferences.

But, let's say that I'm over at someone's house and I see them get out a Ouija board and they do it with someone else. I see them ask about the lottery numbers for that night and what they should pick. They are given a number and they then, later, get a ticket and it turns out to be a winning number.

Now, I can *testify* to the fact that I saw them get out a Ouija board and I saw the numbers given to them and they won the lottery. That would be *truthful* -- even if I didn't believe in Ouija boards and didn't believe that there was anything valid about them at all.

What this other poster would say about my testimony -- on the other hand is -- *He must be lying!* -- because that poster would have the opinion that Ouija boards are not valid and are not a real predictor of the future, you see. And since that's his conclusion -- *I* -- would have to be *lying* since I've testified that I saw it happen.

That's the problem that this other poster is having. He cannot recognize a "truthful testimony" even if it has something to do with a "false concept".

Trying to argue nuance in the arena of emotion is fruitless at best.

To repeat my earlier post - "A man convinced against his will, is of the same opinion still."

I understand what you are saying. I was just pinging you to continue the discussion.
