I am interested in what you have to say, not a referral to some other source material in the matters of personal principles. if you can't defend your own principles with your own words, are they truly your own principles? Without civil discussion how else do you think a progress is made? Are you not interested in growth as a person yourself as am I? Have you stopped growing as a person and deferred all your hard questions to "the book"? No need to answer these rhetorical questions. They are for you to contemplate.
