You have got to smile at the commentary on this. but well done for taking the minutes.
There does seem to be a good number of these debates popping up and I'm not sure they bring much new to either sides arguments. Especially when you have two speakers both intellectually capable of holding their own.
However, there are plenty of non-thinking believers out there (and I have to say I have in my mind that chinny woman interviewed on YT in the US election campaign that was linked to from here) that leave plenty of cracks. If it they can just be trained to think - rather being told how stupid they are for believing - might just stand back and look at what it is they are believing.
One they turn there is no going back.
