You know you can't change what I believe, why do you continue to bemoan the issue? What are YOU trying to achieve? Will it give you peace for me to agree with you? Isn't the world a better place having all kinds of different beliefs?

Who's bemoaning? Im not trying to change anyone's mind, but if it happens, great.
Debate is healthy, without it we allow total control.
Education is also healthy, without it we have ignorance.
I don't think any of us really care if you change your mind and it certainly wouldn't create anymore peace than I already have. Isnt the world a better place when people are actually allowed to disagree, have varying opinions, and discuss everything "based on the facts".
So...lets get the world educated, and allow everyone to debate freely.
