Sheldon Cooper: I will spend the rest of my life here in Texas, trying to teach evolution to creationists.
Mrs. Cooper: You watch your mouth, Shelly. Everyone's entitled to their opinion.
Sheldon Cooper: Evolution isn't an opinion, it's fact.
Mrs. Cooper: And that is your opinion!
Sheldon Cooper: [to the others] I forgive you. Let's go home.

Mrs. Cooper: (with a sly smile) Don't tell me prayer doesn't work.
We all have opinions. Those who sent Jesus to the cross of Calvary were certain they were right. Those who opposed racial equality were absolutely sure that integration was wrong. More often than not, the truth of any given situation lies somewhere between extreme viewpoints. It is a good and noble thing to stand up for your opinions and the things that you believe. It is a better and nobler thing to be humble enough to admit that it is entirely possible that you may be wrong. Check out The Beatitudes in Matthew 5. One cannot be meek, one cannot be a peacemaker and one cannot be poor in spirit without be willing to listen to those with differing opinions. I think Jesus would call on us all to undergo a serious attitude adjustment in the political discourse going on in our nation today. He taught us to love one another, and I see precious little of that going on. Of course that is just my OPINION. And I just might be wrong. BAZINGA!
Because of Jesus,
