think, I really do, but it can be done in a respectful way, so that what they have to say can really be heard. these are my thoughts

What sort of problems do you speak of?

What specifically made everything click with you, and how exactly, if you dont mind sharing with us, did you find Jesus?

Do you feel that if the televangelists and such are phony as you say, that their message no matter how good, is still questionable? If their intentions arent truely pure, but their actions still lead to positive things, how do you view that?

And I agree, I find that everyone learns more when everyone in the discussion is respectful, of everything possible. Unfortunately, sometimes we get into the heat of the moment, and our civility and respect is diminished, although we dont always notice it, nor do it on purpose. In situations such as those, I would say that it requires looking at what the person is trying to say, instead of how they said it, ... sorta like the televangelist thing, I suppose.
