Napoleon Wrote: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.
Oh ok, we're on the same page then. Sorry, I should have clarified that when I said deconvert someone I meant some individuals but not every individual.
