Deacon Blues Law of persuasion #1.
#1 When a disputed idea/fact/meme/world view is being discussed/debated/argued each proponent will ALWAYS EXAGGERATE the evidence/anecdotes/statistics that support their claim. I believe this rule is not 50%, not 75%, but 99% true.
God is Love. God is Truth. The greatest problem with organized religion is that the organization becomes god, rather than a means of serving God.

Ben Franklin - politician, scientist, influencer - used a few communication tricks, of which one was to never be firmly fixed on any position. Stay vague, stay open - it seems to me that... correct me if I am wrong but what I have observed so far is ... use careful, thoughtful, non-dogmatic, open to change (and do actually change - we are all wrong from time to time).
I'm a teacher, and use this approach in class, allow students to correct me, we work together on solutions, no lectures, no preaching - just a bunch of imperfect humans getting through the material together.
