True debate is stifled, not by political force, but rather by a new kind of social pressure, a pressure that says that to be an enlightened, kind or caring person, one would never say that someone else’s faith is wrong. If we cannot say that there is any view that is wrong, then by the exact same logic, neither can we say that anything is right. This is a reductio ad surdum. How can this ever be thought to be an enlightened approach? It rather fosters a cold status quo “for all” that can never really benefit people or truth. - [Did Jesus Preexist - Literally? - Session 1](https://21stcr.org/commentaries/preexistence-overview/preexistence-videos/preexistence-video-101/did-jesus-preexist-literally/) - “Did Jesus Preexist – Literally?” (Preexistence 101 – Session 1) J.
