Past Life Regression

[Not Afraid]

I think the way this discussion is progressing is fine. Other than the first few posts, that were edited, I think the discussion has been intellectually stimulating and interesting. There is nothing wrong with question of beliefs, as long as it is done in a respectful rather and dismissive manner.

I just don't think that a respectful and even-handed discussion about differing beliefs can take place after it's started with an insult. Pancaked or not. Did the original pancake make the situation any better when it was edited? Nor did this one.

Perhaps, but this is a bell that can't really be unrung. If corndiogwalker feels insulted by Alex's comments then it's perfectly acceptable for him to choose not to participate here. And if Alex wants to make any sort of amends that's up to Alex. Regarless, dicussion has continued and I don't see any value in shutting it down.

It's hard for discussions about beliefs to take place in an emotional vacuum, so perhaps a respectful even handed approach is ultimately impossible. Still I like that we try, and keep each other in check when our posts can be considered disrespectful. I don't really think anyone here wants to come off as a belligernat prick - but we all know those folks exist in the world too.

So I hope we can continue, in sincere curiosity, and perhaps earn back some of the respect we may have lost along the way.
