expecting what? "I've yet to see..." means "i haven't seen it yet". it doesn't mean or even imply the expectation that someone might change their mind. in fact Aris hasn't posted here before because no one ever changes their minds.
Apart from not being limited by other people's exact words as far as expressing my
own opinion goes. I think 'I've yet to see' can most certainly express some kind of expectation, mostly in certain disbelieving way.
But sure, he could have meant differently.
On the other hand, someone who doesn't have to live a certain way of life full of restrictions due to its beliefs will generally be more open-minded, and our society needs open-minded people to try new things and advance humanity further into the future.
I totally agree.
this means (among other things) be uplifting to others, treat them as you would have them treat you, be an example to others, respect the laws of those over you even though, abstain from sex before you're married, have lots of sex with your spouse when you are married (that's in there too), be forgiving because you expect God to forgive you... these are all good morals, not restrictions that inhibit our advancement.
All these moral or social values are not exclusive to Christianity or any religion for that matter. Basically you're saying you believe you are living your life
better than non-Christians, where in reality non-religious people more often than not share the exact same values. The restrictions aren't moral ones, but rather psychological ones.
Cheers
