Also like how intrareligious dialog is honestly portrayed and assumed, especially in the Epistles and Acts. It's clear that Christians all agree on the roadmap and the spec is sorta clear, but each one of us ends up with a slightly different implementation and we have to just discuss, debate, learn, and sometimes just deal with dissent and move on.

Converting to Christianity has made me both more tolerant and less accepting, which has been an interesting turn. My views are more staunchly held, but I'm less bothered by other people having a different, equally staunchly-held view. I guess, yes, I'm more stoic.

Very Greek. Well, the human speakers and writers were all learned men, so that shouldn't surprise us. They probably studied philosophy in the synagogue.
