Why Does God Need So Much Praise?

Oh boy.

It seems to be a common misconception that someone cannot withdraw from a discussion without it automatically being a victory for the other person. Hardly.

This also seems to lead to the "carry on arguing relentlessly until the other person gets fed up and then declare victory" tactic. The purpose of honest debate is supposed to be to exchange ideas, possibly with a view to giving the other person some things to consider. It's not to spout off constantly until the other person gets tired of you. If that's what you consider to be a victory, then clearly "winning the argument" is more important to you than actually being right, or properly communicating good ideas.
