Imagine a wall that's green on one side and red on the other. You stand on one side and only see green. I stand on the other side and only see red.

Being able to realize that the other person has a valid point, even if you disagree with it, that's maturity.

It cheapens the gift of salvation – the gift of grace – and make God look like a finicky human.
