Good point, but isn't that emotion? Isn't the desire for approval or the fear of rejection emotion? Blaine wrote: > Independence of spirit is key to being > a true seeker of truth. Scientists call this objectivity. Is this the same thing, in your opinion? It seems to me that humility is closer to what is being identified here as important. If objectivity is the key to seeking truth, then scientists would find Christ (since he is truth), wouldn't they? I'm thinking out loud here, Blaine. Help me out. :-) Peace be with you.
