Deciphering gibberish?

[SlowCalculations]

I occasionally, shift back into having debates I understand debating is basically: Two people doing this to each other   

Actually, I disagree pretty strongly with the above.

I wonder how many former theists on this site alone, were convinced that their former theistic beliefs were not logically justified, or supported by good evidence, through debates?

I know for a fact, that I have helped a former fundamentalist relative, become much less so over the years, through friendly debate.

The YouTube show, The Atheist Experience, has 1000's of letters from former theists, who have become atheists by listening to debates on the show and elsewhere.

I'm not telling you that theists can't be convinced by debates. I'm saying that I understand debating is beating each other with sticks "most of the time at least regarding FB. But to be fair I didn't add that so fair assumption. I think there is a certain way to also have a debate I'm not fond of yelling and screaming types. I stopped witching the Athiest experience though for other reasons but for a while it was okay, and on occasion, I don't mind tuning in depending on who it is talking.  I prefer people like Seth, but that's because when i started diving out of supersituous beliefs seth was the person who helped me understand all atheists weren't dicks from listening to his podcasts. At that time I wasn't far from it myself though I just needed a bit of a push. I won't go into why or why not too much here but To find people interested in debates in a manner in which both sides are being educated is actually quite hard to find online today, but it can be done and I do still have them when I got the energy and time on my hands. I'm weird, i don't know if i am making sense but I'm in a "Middle ground" when it comes to debate the way it's is key to me. But if others do it other ways and it helps them good on them do i get it? not really, but that's not my place and it doesn't matter if i understand or not.
