are you unwilling to be challenged by alternate points of view, to engage contrary opinions, or even to consider them? Is it easier to "name call"????

I am open to discussing anything, but you had better have your facts in order and not offer mere speculation as to why you may hold a certain position. I don't long abide a fool.

There has been times when my view has been challenged, and sooner or later, I come to realize why a person say what they say.
I do tolerate a person being different than me as long as that person respects me. I don't have a problem with someone being different than me. But I do have a problem with people who look to be dramatic and want to be dark instead of trying to find the light at the end of the dark tunnel.

More than willing. I have friends of many different R&S beliefs. It may not be a question of tolerance or a lack of courage. It may just be the way the question is presented. There are many who are simply tired of the trolls around here.

I have friends who are jewish, Muslim, Atheist ,and pagan. They know I am a Christian. The difference in the conversations we have and the comments made here is repect. I can tolerate a different opinion without accepting it or believing all ideas are the same. That is not tolerance it is gullibility.

Bring it on!!!! On issues such as prophecies in the Revelation or the age of the earth I will get into debates on people that I sometimes agree with just to make me and them think.
I like these next 4 quotes myself.

"Christ died for men precisely because men are not worth dying for; to make them worth it." - C.S. Lewis
"Now is our chance to choose the right side. God is holding back to give us that chance. It won't last forever. We must take it or leave it." - C.S. Lewis
"In Ancient times skillful warriors first made themselves invincible, and then watched for vulnerability in their opponents". - Sun Tzu
"Truth is absolute and knowable and must be searched for diligently, but many will try to hide it, deny it or muddy it." - Bia Leung.

I'm not sure what you mean, you're not specific enough. I do know the bible says 2 Cor 10:3-5 "casting off every thought and imagination, theories, reasonings, and every high and lofty thing that exalts itself against the true knowledge of God."

I like to hear peoples points of views when they are real and not stupid. But I an firm in what I believe, until someone shows me better or that I' wrong.

I am the alternative point of view or at least my beliefs are and I do change it according to reason.

I like to check out what the competition is thinking (ha ha). I think it is how we learn, bouncing our thoughts off of one another. I do dislike it when people use the word stupid when answering a question.

I think everyone is like that. If I don't see it, it's not there.
It will probably be the regression of human civilization eventually.
