The only people I've really debated with were a couple of workmates, and one of them turned into an absolute screaming match (mostly because that's the only way to deal with him - you either cut him off or he will cut you off. He loves the sound of his own voice. Eventually after cutting eachother off constantly the vocal levels reach a certain point where you're just yelling at each other).

The other was against someone who had never actually thought about his beliefs beyond "I don't understand how the world works therefore god did it", which was obviously very easy for me to trounce. I'm pretty sure I changed his worldview, just not enough to actually change his mind about religion. Maybe enough to make him go out and learn a little about these things.

Either way, it's weird how people put these walls of stupidity up.
Weird and perhaps a little scary considering the vehemence involved. At least it is a good thing to be aware of.

I thought you said you didn't care what any of us thought? So, you do care? I do wish you would make up your mind already. - NKB
