Please Meet Pat Condell

It would seem vigorous debate and discussion is the bedrock of moving our knowledge forward. Too many, if not most, religious people refuse to take a second look at their beliefs. Of course, some of this may be the fear that old God will know they are possibly doubting Him and they'll burn in Hell, forever. Dang, doesn't sound like a good way to live-always in fear.

Seriously folks, debate, and discussion do move us forward. It seems we can debate anything but religion. Religious folks think their beliefs are special and should not be subject to scrutiny or doubt. Does that actually make any sense?

I surely can't speak for anyone other than myself, but I've gathered lots of

knowledge from debates and occasionally actually change my views. Hey, folks,

debate is healthy for us. Try it sometime.

“Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. Ideas must be distinct before reason can act upon them; and no man ever had a distinct idea of the trinity. It is the mere Abracadabra of the mountebanks calling themselves the priests of Jesus.” – Thomas Jefferson
