Quote by: Nono I agree to the extent that if you believe you believe (or if you don't you don't) and there's no discussing it.
So I'm not advocating yet another of those debates.
What gets me is the attitude -- exemplified by Starboy and Poops -- that if (say in connection with another discussion) you show the slightest willingness to even consider the possibility that just maybe some sort of "sky fairy" could conceivably exist, you're summarily condemned as out to lunch.
A woefully dogmatic and unrational approach in my view. |
Not to defend anyone but trying to debate issues when god or religious ideology is being used as the opposing issue is not rational or logical.
The majority of the pro war stance who accept proven lies as facts happen to also be the same throwing in supernatural or cult like points to support their views. Debate is about facts not faith(unless that is the topic of debate)
What Merlin and the rest don't realize is the stress of trying to spread the word while debating is an insurance they will never absorb the opposite point. One cannot learn while trying to push a specific agenda or while in fear of accepting the opposite point of view.
