Ultimately, yes, each person must arrive at their own personal set of beliefs and conclusions, if that's what you mean. But surely silent introspection without ever engaging with anyone else can only take one so far? Everyone is exposed to the ideas of others, and discussions often lead to epiphanies or meaningful progress in someone's own personal journey (conversations with counselors and therapists come to mind). Maybe experience will also teach me that theology/spirituality/some other prickly topic is just never worth discussing with anyone, but I also believe that it's possible to have productive discussions about a topic that is this close to what makes us human.
...Sorry, I just realized this post counts as discussing theology with you!
