Can Irrational people Be Persuaded with Rationality?
#11
RE: Can Irrational people Be Persuaded with Rationality?
Someone mentioned planting the seeds already. I too was one of the "irrational" people. I was a believer and furthermore, I was superstitious (yea yea, religion is a superstition too, but you know what I mean). My love of astronomy and the material contained within were the seeds.

Also, if there is an audience like on say... an Internet site... I will debate to get my point across to the crowd. I rarely debate someone in hopes of changing their views. That hardly ever happens. If it does though, AWESOME. I do this because like I said, I was "irrational" before. During my transition into non-belief, I would soak up all these debates on the Internet especially from forums like this one. So if there is a me that went through this, there has to be others. I do it for them.
