I would say, that must make you feel better? I am happy for you, but still looking at it, I think I will carry on just the same.. Thank you, for showing me that you were right all along. I still feel no regret? Oh well.... Love you.

SG: If you have found your way works sister... You are like happy.. You know you are not hurting anyone.... Would it really matter if someone could prove you wrong? about your faith? You think?

Well, sure. I guess. But my belief system isn't about what is wrong or right as much as it is about what furthers my spiritual growth and love for others. So even if my concepts are wrong, if they serve their immediate purpose of furthering my capacity to love and feel love, their inaccuracy is irrelevant to me. I don't see spirituality or religion as a way to understand reality as much as a way to experience divinity (and therefore, in my worldview, love). I tend to think all people aren't very accurate in their perceptions of divinity, the universe, etc. but that is OK so long as their belief system is leading them to growth in love, joy, peace...

Would you ask for more information?

Why not? I'm a curious sort and I love hearing what other people think. I almost always ask for more information about everything!

Would you explore their critique or go into a defensive mode?

Oh, explore most definitely. But then probably exchange, dialogue, compare/contrast. I'm generally neither a defensive person about my beliefs (except when it comes to my right to practice any faith I choose without persecution, but that's more of a civil rights issue) nor am I very gullible just because someone has a fancy line of reasoning. My own beliefs are ever changing, but depend on my own experience and intellect. So most of my beliefs change over time not due to other religions' tenets or people's arguments, but rather due to my own spiritual experience. But I'm always up for exploration. If anything, this has made the core of my faith stronger with each passing year.

A girl always reserves the right to change her mind.

I would say, as soon as you can establish what my belief is, then you are welcome.
