BBC 2's Newsnight last evening featured a discussion on the life and times of Cuba's Castro.
Both sides were represented on the panel. It was most interesting to see how different people expressed such different views on Castro. No doubt they all spoke in good faith. Who was telling the truth? Or is that the question at all?
There were two people who passionately believe that Castro has improved the lot of the people of Cuba and there were two more people who believed the very opposite.
How can we ever manage to change the minds and hearts of people, especialy when it comes to preaching the Gospel?
Take this blog for example and the entrenched opinions people express - sometimes done in an anonymous manner, other times openly. Others refer to issues as rants when they disagree. And then there is the put-down 'so-called'.
It's an interesting world.
