[I][COLOR=DimGray]I don't feel the need to debate you or try to change your mind about your worldview. I don't actually think people change their worldviews as the result of a debate. I've personally never seen that occur. The combative approach can even cause a person to become more entrenched in their current worldview.

[I][COLOR=DimGray]Thanks.[/COLOR][/I] :)

Genuine, respectful discussion
What would a genuine, respectful discussion look like? What could we accomplish by setting aside combativeness and insults? Not only would it be more intellectually gratifying, but it might even influence a person's mood in a positive direction.
I don't feel compelled to change your mind about anything. In fact, I'm willing to just ask questions and comment only on what I'm specifically asked to. I'll do what I can to make this enjoyable for both of us.
