Right.... But Excluded From Their Life And Dialogue.

"I began to see the meaninglessness of it all one afternoon in my front yard after passionately debating politics with a non—Christian neighbor. Getting all red in the face and almost in tears, she stormed off to her house, leaving me standing there with my “words of truth” still floating in the dialogue bubble above my head. Right or not, what did it really accomplish? She’s now even more convinced that the other side is wacked—out and closed—minded, and I’m now excluded from her list of people with whom she can hash out the difficult questions of life. Something just didn’t seem quite right when “them" now included my next—door neighbor and Ms. Jill, who had practically become my daughter’s biggest fan and hero."
