I usually go fishing online at conservative news sites like Breitbart News Network. I'll click on a story or headline, look down at the comments and either look for key words that Christians use or post a stimulating comment, which they would of course feel the need to correct me or defend their so called faith. Is there any tools or creative weapons of reason and logic that I can use to stump them?
If you think you can change the mind of anyone posting on a site like Breitbart, you are way too idealistic. The reality is that these hardline conservatives don't change their mind with new evidence. They just dig their heels in deeper and insist that blue is red.
2000-2008 was an era in which conservatives got to demonstrate whether or not their principles would be effective, and it nearly brought our country to its knees. Yet they still sit around claiming we just need to be more conservative and commie socialists like Obama are the real problem. You can't change a mind like that.
