"If you argue with someone who actually BELIEVES in a magic, invisible god that lives in the sky (and worries about the important things: Like how often you masturbate, or if two guys kiss each other), you are fighting a losing battle - because he can make up the rules as he goes along; whereas you are bound by the rules of logic and physical evidence. Even if he acknowledges the physical evidence, he will often try to make it fit somehow with the odd constructs of whatever "holy" book he swears by, and his unique perception of the magic, invisible god. (Example; Christian, "young-earth" creationists who attempt to explain the fossil record in light of the biblical myth of Noah's flood.)"

I see you have TEN recs for this post already! Rational people pass by and let you know the world is still safe from the superstitious fanatics! When they dump reason they are only left with force. So in civilized/lawful society they are merely gnats...

Thank you for stopping by, buddy!
