What I think is just that we should just refrain from using our own, often flawed, understanding of all things in the earth, on the earth and below the earth and allow others to think as they will.
I use this quote in my signature line, a quote we should all now read and try to understand. "The great danger for humans is that we will walk by the light of our own understanding." In this light of our own understanding we think we have all the answers for all of the questions asked by all of the people on the planet. THAT'S JUST NOT TRUE! If we can realize this and if we can remove the word "can't" from our apprasal of others and their thoughts and beliefs, we will not need a flame moderator.
A young person "can't..." A singer "can't..." You "can't" expect..." They "can't..." All from our own understanding. I believe, for each "can't" there are two or more "cans!"
A famous line from Shakespeare's Hamlet states, "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy."
Amen! Amen!
