Opinion
A great many people mistake opinion for thought. (Herbert V. Prochnow, 20th century American banking executive)
We believe in freedom of speech, that everyone has the right to express his thoughts and ideas. In an election year, we are inundated with speeches, blogs, and social media blasts. And we may be inclined to accept the opinions of well-spoken people, thinking they have probably given a lot of thought to what they’re saying. Beware! Be sure to give all of it your careful evaluation.
Fools have no interest in understanding; they only want to air their own opinions. (Proverbs 18:2)
Am I expressing merely a human opinion, or does the [truth] say the same thing? (1 Corinthians 9:8 paraphrase)
