Rigid prejudices preclude the free exchange of ideas and the understanding that follows from that. And, I'm not claiming that I am free from prejudices when I make that observation. We all have them, IMO.
That's why I thought and continue to think that Alt Views is valuable. Here, if we continue communicating, we may be able to enlarge our understanding. The trick is to "listen" and not to get stuck in our prejudices. That's why I continue to participate here. I hope that more people from the Local Churches join us in this process.

Wait a minute. Have you forgotten all your LC prejudices which you regularly fling my way? I get the double whammy, while you only hear about liberalism. Are you willing to reconsidering your liberal stances?
I was a Kennedy/McGovern democrat/liberal back in my Cleveland days. Then the party left me. They kept moving left, never stopping, and I decided to stay still, considering the childhood values my parents put in me were not so bad after all. Nearly half a century later, my former party is totally unrecognizable. JFK, besides wanting to know who shot him, would be shocked with how the country has gone to, "
ask not what I can do for my country, but what will that effin country do for me?"
Perhaps you might reconsider your own positions in light of where you once were.
