"Never argue with idiots. They bring you down to their level, and they have more experience"

Can't remember were I saw this, but it's certainly true in my experience. My wife's friend once asked me, why I didn't believe in God..I gave the standard answer - I have never seen any evidence that god, or gods exist,. Simple. I should have known better but asked why she believed god exists. There followed about an hour of pointeless discussion. It didn't matter what logical arguement I put, anyone determined to be deluded, will remain deluded, so in the end I decided it wasn't worth it.

Did I learn - no! A few weeks ago I was accosted by two young lads. Amazingly polite Canadians (as I found out later), asking me what I thought about the relevance of Jesus Christ...another 20 minutes of pointless banter!

Arguments over anything are OK if there are valid points to be drawn, but when they can't/won't obey the laws of logic, it just gets frustrating, people get angry, and life's too short!
