So uh... what's up with the religious "stabs in the back" recently I've been hearing about, and all the discussion here on DP about it? Religion's not my strong point (in debate, though I am very religious) - but I'm just wondering why we all need to fight (in debate) over them. Can't we just accept the facts over them? I mean, yeah, the Pope mis-spoke something, not all Muslims are bad, and Christianity loves peace. So what's the point? Is it possible to find a religion that's not involved in heated debate anymore? Well, I can think of ONE... technically. -Matt
It's like the media, contraversy sells; not necessarily truth, but tension gets people's attention. What's more likely to arouse attention: a moderate conversation where there's conclusions or two people getting into a fight? One wonders why Jerry Springer sells...simply some people are more interested in seeing destruction than creation.
Ah... they just want attention then, basically... attention and money... *Sigh* what a world we live in
