"Well said.
Cisco, do you have the humility to see the wisdom in these words?"
"Well said."
"A good point by Mr. Wilburn. People can change, and do not forget that your agnostic significant other today could be Catholic tomorrow, as a result of some eye-opening event or other catalyst to her faith in God."
"In consideration of Mr. Bauer's clarifying statement regarding agnostics, I suppose the question is; is she open to believing that there is a greater being, and if so, can she be influenced into having a more concrete set of beliefs about God?…"
"I see. Thank you for clarifying."
