Ever have moments like that here?

Funny enough, my opinions have been solidified as a result of the frequent conversations I've had with folks with opposing views (not just on CG).
But, yeah, I think I could say I've had moments like that. Whenever I ask an honest, open-ended question--like my thread on the 2nd coming, or the "Would God do that?" thread--I'm genuinely looking for opposing viewpoints to better understand them.
Frequently, all I solicit is a lot of snark in return. Some of that's my fault, and some of it ain't.
