Respect for freely held opinions on debatable matters

Our respect, for every single person and their freedom, should be still greater, if anything, when it comes to disagreements over matters of opinion. Since people tend, unhappily, to cling to their own points of view with so much totalitarianism, tyranny, and fanaticism, we must make a serious effort to set an example everywhere of love for each individual’s personal freedom.

This is the way I have always reasoned it out, and you should do the same, and teach others to as well: If God has left so many things open to people’s free discussion, why should I see someone who thinks differently from me as an enemy?

If we don’t have the same ideas, and he convinces me, I will accept his opinion; if I convince him, he will think like me; if neither of us convinces the other, we can still respect each other, love each other, and live together in peace.
