positive and negative

Negative campaign ads are normal during elections. I read the other day that they are remembered way more vividly than positive ads. Obviously with a finite amount of money for ads, we are going to see negative ads.

This is an important consideration when you are sharing your faith with someone. If you show the weakness in other viewpoints, speak about the logial inconsistencies of others, and so forth, you will be more influential, right? Not so fast. There is a tension, here. You see, if you are negative, you likely have a wall being set up by the other person. Even if you are right. Which brings us to the most important rule of thumb when it comes to sharing faith. "Do you want to be right or do you want to be helpful?" If you want to be right, don't share. If you want to be helpful, then you can be.

Making a positive case for your evidence and allowing the other person to be the one who brings up challenges in other viewponts is the way to go. There are ways to make this likely. I will speak more about this.
