    I'll throw out the theist/atheist debate as an example.

    The answers aren't easy and semantics cloud the issue, but there is a reality.

    Both positions cannot be simultaneously true.

    I believe they can.

    For example, if 'you' believe in god, then god exists...................for you.

    If 'I' don't believe in god, then god doesnt exist.......................for me.

    So it just becomes 'you should think as I do' for both parties.

    It is important to always question everything, including ourselves and our personal motives and intentions.

    No one of us is perfect

    Debate is a good way to find the truth.

    I agree JK666

    Your essay on "Why can't we all just get along?" was very nice, but your apparent sensitivity to disagreement is in itself a manifestation of intolerance. It sounds like you are saying that nothing really means anything. That doesn't fly.

    Interesting. You're saying that a person who opposes intolerance is intolerant?

    Sounds like when a person says "There are no absolutes"—he has just stated something absolutely.

    Nothing worse than two guys getting their period on the same day.

    If 'I' don't believe in god, then god doesnt exist.......................for me.

    But Searcher, one of those points of view is TRUE. There is a reality. There's just no way to prove it.

    Ah, but a true god, who can do anything, could exist and not exist at the same time.
