Good points. I wish more people were able to simply say "I don't know" when it comes to these things. I think there would be way less division.
I like your analogy of the army men although I'll admit I always figured we were more like God's ant farm.
One question, when you were finished playing with your army men did you ever have an urge to take the ones you chose to be the losers and melt them down in the oven?
Sorry, just thinking out loud.
