The article does not sound like debates on our forum but rather like debates on facebook.
Nah. I have plenty of fears but fear of intellectual debates is not one of them1over137 wrote:The article does not sound like debates on our forum but rather like debates on facebook.
And Nessa, I noticed the joke in pictures.
If you are afraid of intelectual debates, look at my questions to B.W. in Bible study thread.
I am not afraid of B.W. nor of other intellectuals here. As B.W. said, longing heart to learn is enough. (Loosly remembering his words now)
I've been involved in dozens of internet debates. By this I mean I've had discussions with people I do and don't know online. I'm not talking about an agreed-upon format and timed debate, but instead impromptu debates over a range of topics.

Well, on this board we are ready to be corrected, to change mind, to learn more, get closer to the truth and not only to prove we are right.First, know that most people won't change their mind. People like proving they are right and typically in the medium of Facebook or comments on a news article on a news site, they get on the defensive.
The author is not saying anything against learning.1over137 wrote:From the articleWell, on this board we are ready to be corrected, to change mind, to learn more, get closer to the truth and not only to prove we are right.First, know that most people won't change their mind.

Is that correct?
As article states there are many pros for the debates. Debates you select wisely.
