Religious debates are useless.

[Dana]

I say stick to what the fuck you believe in and stop trying to push views upon others. :surrender

What if you're not pushing, just making a valid point?

You can have a discussion without trying to convert others either way.

At least, some people can.

 

[Dana]

I know folks who feel the need to turn everything into a debate. They're my friend but shut the fuck up for once. I may agree with some points but it becomes annoying.

 

[EliseLouisiana]

Understandable. Some things should just go without question

 

[Springsteen]

Nature of the beast. With debates the fact is neither point can be proven as absolute fact, it's merely someone's opinion/belief therefore people will disagree because no side can be 100% categorically correct. I tend to stay out of religious debates because it just goes round and round in circles and it's the hardest debate to win because you never really do.

By making the above mentioned statement you are attempting to push your belief upon us. I just thought someone should point that out.

Not really. It's just my opinion and I know that it won't amount to anything

 

[Niamh]

In your opinion but some people like discussing and debating religion and after all the Religion section is in the debate forum

You find debate to be annoying and that's okay. But I can't help but wonder, why do you read the debate section? I suppose I would find the inspirational section to be annoying. That's why I don't read it.

I disagree. Debates on any subject help you focus your thoughts, consider new ideas, reconsider old ideas, and reevaluate your dogma. They do in many cases waste a lot of time.

Debating is a higher form of communication, not everyone can hang with it

 

[darkcgi]

debating .... arguing whats the difference

all about voice tones...those who use 'em usually get their way, those who remain silent allow.

Debates are set up to present opposing views in a civil manner. Arguing tends to be associated with people loosing their tempers.

So dont post in a debate section them, just a suggestion.

Not a lot really. My nan and granddad used to argue like bastards and when we told them off for it my nan used to say "we're not arguing, I'm talking loudly to emphasise a point" :24::surrender

I beleive these threads are very useful. I have really strengthend my faith in them by thinking through exactly what I do believe.

I take it we should rename the section Philosophy and Arguing then?

Welcome to OTz SoulFlayer.

Dana doesn't actually participate in religious debates. He just pokes his head into the debate section every once in awhile to tell everyone debates are useless. So stop telling others what to believe. Which is kind of ironic when you think about.
