@jacobchatterjee @emlynaddison @BillyMcWhirter Arguments are not The Truth + U forget that for each argument for god, there's 10 for atheism
@BillyMcWhirter @Gomba13 I disagree with his equation in practical terms. Humans invent all sorts of idiotic reasons in support of beliefs.

@BillyMcWhirter I have the chance for once to converse with opponents who can reason and argue without resorting to violence. -
@Gomba13@BillyMcWhirter Isn't that all conversations about god on Twitter? So instead of violence, we suffer dishonesty.#MyCupRunethOver -
@emlynaddison
@BillyMcWhirter I am willing to leave them the benefit of the doubt. I would not equate opposing views with dishonesty. -
@Gomba13@BillyMcWhirter I meant intellectual dishonesty which is, ultimately, what a creation myth demands. Suspension of disbelief. -
@emlynaddison
@BillyMcWhirter I tend to agree, but since my opponents seldom admit to that, it becomes an obstacle to healthy discussion. -
@Gomba13@BillyMcWhirter There's the rub: how does one have a 'healthy discussion' with a group convinced that the moon landing was faked? -
@emlynaddison
@BillyMcWhirter By avoiding questions we know we can't agree on and concentrating on things we are all willing to consider.
