it never goes anywhere. No questions are resolved and nobody ever changes their opinion.
Sound and fury, signifying nothing.

I have changed my stance on many issues over the years. It's people who take a definite political position that have difficulty in changing their opinions.

I've learned stuff here and I've changed my mind often about things.
What are you talking about?

People's minds not changing has nothing to do with something signifying nothing. You should ask yourself why you are incapable of changing your mind and then you may understand why others don't. |

it never goes anywhere. No questions are resolved and nobody ever changes their opinion. Sound and fury, signifying nothing. I do look differently at certain items. Consider the story of the great flood, which I considered fiction long before coming to this forum. Noah is considered a hero who saved two of every animal. I now look at the fact that God killed all the other animals and millions of people. What a nice guy.
I used to laugh at Bible beaters like Mike Murdock, Jimmy Swaggart, Robert Tilton, etc. I now look at them with total contempt. They prey and give false hope to desperate people, just for the almighty dollar.

"No questions are resolved"
Well the questions are generally about philosophical/moral ramifications, mysteries of the universe, existence of a God, etc, I wouldn't necessarily expect stuff like that to be "resolved".
"nobody ever changes their opinion."
I wouldn't necessarily expect that either, particularly since I'm assuming nearly everyone on here is over 25 or so, people are pretty set in their ways at that age.

People do change their mind about issues that are important to them, but religion is something that is emotionally integral to some people's sense of wellbeing, so it takes them more than just a few exposures to a rigorous rebuttal of their opinions before they will change those opinions. They need to be saturated in evidence of their beliefs being wrong (or irrational) over a long period of time. Few people instantly lose their religion after reading 'The God Delusion', or having a debate with an atheist on the Internet, but over time, people will gradually begin to see reason. Hopefully the same thing will occur in relation to things that even atheists currently get wrong, such as the right to die and antinatalism, which is why I continue to present my opinions, even knowing that I'm not going to change that person's opinions even if the debate goes on for 2 years (as it did with cupcakes, before his abrupt disappearance). |

Any idea of why the abrupt disappearance? I had him on block so it took me awhile to notice, but you are the first poster to bring it up. |

I haven't changed my mind about religion due to emotional reasons. Belief doesn't have to be anymore emotional than using a bunsen burner. It has more to do with the "rational" reasons presented hear routinely being prejudicial and retarded. |

Are you Bazarov_2? 
You seem more jolly and slightly more plebeian than him though. |
