The Cross has two components. The larger component is the vertical, which symbolizes that one's relationship to God is a one-to-one relationship, and the horizontal component symbolizes that as a result of the directly personal relationship to God, we are required to reach out to those on either side of us. Our decisions should be what we understand God wants us to do. That is OUR responsibility, and it is NOT the business of either the Liberal or Conservative self-righteous who think they have the authority to speak for God.

I think its very important, especially when it comes to relationships with other people, to try to see the other side of things. Granted, some things have a lot to do with common sense, but I think people are often surprised at how many arguments can be avoided, or at least made less severe, just by understanding that there is NOT always only one way to see things.
