This is a technical look at religious arguments, both for and against the way way in which religion describes our experience. I suggest you skim the preview of the paper for more understanding, but the video is an adequate primer for answering the following question – Are your beliefs, theistic or non-theist,ic causing you to beg the doxastic question?
In the ‘gotcha’ world of the internet, specifically the blogosphere, it seem that it is almost a never ending contest of who say their points the loudest. Proper argumentation and facts be damned. Debate is good, of course, but to what end when people involved are unwilling to change their opinions even when clearly they are wrong.
Debate then, rather than being a spirited exchange of ideas, discussion merely becomes yet another seemingly pointless timesink. The effort put into stating your case with the correct amount of profunidity necessary to prove your point becomes almost an odious task, because nothing really changes between you and the person you are debating. It can be very discouraging at times.
It is important to focus on the people who do not comment, so that they might see both sides of an argument and gather more information so they might be able to make an informed decision on the issue at hand. At least, this is what I tell myself.
