Hookay,
here's the thing.
Like a dumb ass I'm currently entrenched in
another "debate" or haphazard discussion about the
christian god. What bothers me more than anything is hearing the same
tired arguments and faulty logic that tries to leach from so many
misunderstood areas of science and rules of logic. What I want to do
is download every last video I've ever watched about evolution or
Christianity and put them in a nice packet called No More Excuses.
Unfortunately, this endeavor would take a the better part of my week
and and space on my hard drives. Also, since the stuff is streamed
online, It almost feels too redundant to have my personal copies for
independent distribution. Even further, I simply don't find the
people willing enough to go through and actually watch and learn from
that much information. Finally, I could beat someone over the head
with this information, and they would still ask me "how do I
know I can trust that's a real bat your hitting me with?"
On
the other hand, it would save so much time to just say, "here's
a chuck of what you need to look at before we begin talking, get back
to me later." It would not allow people to use the, shockingly
frequent excuse, of slow internet connections. Anyone who knows the
art of arguing online, apart from it being incredibly ridiculous, is
that he who has the last word is felt to be the "winner"
despite whether the conversation was understood by those reading it
or not. To avoid feeling like I've "lost" in that sense I
can just dump this on them and perhaps gear the conversation from
theoretical speculation about where Zeus flew off too (actually
brought up by someone) and to the actual science and most
importantly, rules of logical argument that allow me to call people
desperately and patently wrong. Do I go for it, and what will it
really change?

I don't see
it changing much. You know those religious ones, they'll just
say everything that doesn't agree with the bible is wrong.

I don't see
it changing much either so that's why I took the middle ground
and am just making my profile a compilation of links. |
