Why don't you joint the conversation? You might learn something. A person should constantly contest their own views.

Because he's talking about stuff that I dont believe. And I dont have any "views" to contest. I really just dont give a crap either way.

please remove your jesus talk from our computer forums.
Unless you are among the indifferent and apathetic walking dead, everyone has views. Learning consists of the constant expansion, strengthening, and reinterpretation of the views, and that only occurs through having those views contested. Which is best done in friendly debates, or perhaps through the private study of books that offer contrasting opinions (i.e., NOT the same view as your own).Originally posted by: TallBill

Regardless, you made it clear that you do have views through your attitude ("he's talking about stuff that I dont believe"). And obviously to the contrary of the opinions around you. That you fear contesting those views shows that your foundation for those views are weak, and are likely based on simple prejudice, like hating a book you've never read for example.

Well, I do know that I dont want to hear someone talk about Jesus, and what Jesus says is correct or whatever. There could be a Jesus or there might not be, but I really dont wanna hear about it either way. And you have no clue what I've read in a book about religion or experienced in church.

While I agree with you in general, it depends on the nature of the conversation, especially where religion is concerned. Some people do not actually have a conversation about religion, they prefer to just preach at you rather than discuss things with you.Originally posted by: Descartes
