De-converting the fence-sitters
#4
RE: De-converting the fence-sitters
Well it's certainly true that moderates have more resistent arguments....

But I don't think they're more resistent becasue extremists don't even NEED arguments...they can just play the 'faith card' and say they have faith...extremists are very very very hard to reason with simply because extremists don't wanna reason back they just wanna try and brain wash you with 'faith'. They just play the 'faith card'. And faith is a very dangerous thing.

It is important for moderates to let go of their beliefs though because as Dawkins says in TGD...moderates often provide a platform that the extremists can build upon. You can't just treat the symptons...you have to treat the cause.
