The same can be said of all debates, whether or not you make your point and the other side is left
speechless because you are 'right', their decision is based on their ideals and trying to change
them won't be easy. One reason being that they would have to admit to themselves that they were
wrong or that they would have to re-evaluate their life and attitudes.
Try telling someone who has, for most of their life, believed in God that he/she doesn't exist. If
they agree, that means that they have wasted most of their life on prayers and false hopes. |

I believe people yield. The thing is...more players take the field once they do. |

It's not for the debators but for the people reading or listening to the debates. I've known people
to have been on the fence on an issue and watched a debate and then made up their mind because of a
debate. I don't debate with hizashi on evolution vs. Creation because I think I'm going to change
his mind, but that maybe someone reading the arguments is on the fence about the issue and by
reading the arguments they will take an open mind and check it out for them self. No matter which
side they choose as long as they know they don't have to take pressure from either side. |

They have gone on for centuries and will probably continue to go on for centuries.
If they force people to think in a different way or to open their minds to possibilities beyond what
they are accustomed to, i am okay with that. I don't think that blind faith is good. People should
always put their beliefs up to scrutiny. If there is great fear of this process, then you may be a
little less honest with yourself than you think.
There will never be a resolution on this, but that's okay. |
