I’m getting sick and tired of people discussing religion and invoking the need to prove, or disprove, the existence of God. This is the kind of argument that makes me stop the conversation, for ever. Actually, I’ve started to take a simple approach before incurring in a largely, perhaps irrelevant, rumination about religion:
a. I am willing to change my opinion. Do you?
b. Do you agree to discuss using some kind of human logic? Or will you invoke the inability of humankind to understand the arguments you’ll point out?
c. Do you understand the difference between proof and evidence?
Three out of four people will fail the first right away. My fingers are enough to count those who passed the triage, potentially leading to a nice, though inconclusive, conversation.
N.B. Also please take into consideration that things like “God loves us all, even Atheists” are as racist as “God loves us all, even black people”. I would go nuts when I hear the later, so I definitely go nuts whenever I hear the former. There.. Now flame me…
Ready yourself for an MP3…
