Heresy hunters feign as though they love their neighbors in order to engage in opportunities for ideological conquest. Heresy hunters are looking for the first instance of disagreement as an excuse to dismiss the entire perspective of the other part. That's what you are and that's what you've done in this conversation. News flash: that's not love. Love does not seek to separate. Love seeks to unite. A loving person doesn't throw away an entire perspective at the first sign of disagreement. Neither does an intelligent person. An intelligent person realizes that they've never learned anything from someone with whom they completely agreed. An intelligent person acknowledges that no one person likely has all of the answers, but many people have some answers. An intelligent person realizes that by dismissing the perspective of someone after the first instance of disagreement has arisen, they are disavailing themself of the opportunity to find answers that the other party may have. Disavailing one's self of opportunity is, strictly speaking, not intelligent. I would encourage you to keep looking, even when you've found a single instance of disagreement. You never know what you may find. This is the lesson of Christ's camel and the eye of the needle teaching. This is the lesson of the empty cup Zen koan.

Maybe love is the wrong word then because oxytocin is defined as a love/hate drug. You cannot love without hate. That is how the human mind gets into conquest debates in the first place. Overriding that urge is to 'empty your cup'. I speak in models and apply multiple at once which is how many things can be right and wrong at the same time. Is that ideology conquest?
