I mean it's kind of like the general saying of 'if you don't have a shot at it, you'll never know what would of happened'. No debates, no converts for either side... quite obvious really.

When the fuck did I say they were pointless?

This whole thread is about how the same debates become tiresome over time to the individual. That doesn't mean to say they are completely pointless.

Obviously you haven't been reading what I've been saying. Or maybe I've not expressed myself correctly, but I'm pretty sure it's the former.

You asked the question: "But isn't it true that debate will eventually e.g. deconvert someone?"

I answered no. Having a debate is in no way guaranteed to deconvert anyone, no matter how long you debate the subject. I didn't say they don't convert people, but your question seems to assume that eventually people will be deconverted just by having a debate.

How is that wrong?
