has anybody here actually changed their view on spiritual matters as a result of rational argument / debate? have any believers become non-believers, or vice versa, or has anyone changed to a new faith / denomination? could such argument / debate change your views, or are you just here to convert others to your own view while resisting convers ...[text shortened]... of them - and they just don't seem to be capable of the work required.
any thoughts?
But the one thing that I've learned is the amount of views, thoughts and understandings with ones even in the same religion which seems a little off to me. But then so many religions and their ministers are allowed to express their own ideas. That's not always bad on the surface but when it comes down to even their basic beliefs, they don't always agree. But that's their thing and I am not one to judge. Just my viewpoint.
