On the local paper’s domain, they have a forum for people to discuss headlines, local stuff, and anything else that comes up.
Recently, there was a thread entitled “Spreading the Gospel”. Naturally it was a thread about religion and such matters. For two days I stayed out of the thread, knowing that religion and politics are two things that people get very heated about and can discuss permanently.
Foolishly, I jumped in with a few opinions. Now I have started a conversation with another civil poster and it went pretty well. Unfortunately, I have also read several posts that make no sense or twist things to an unbelievable degree.
Now I am faced with a dilemma: Do I correct these people who will still argue until the end of time, or just let it go?
As much as I hate to, I will probably hop off to the sidelines again. There seems no logical reason to pursue a discussion with anyone who will never accept correction or even listen to another point of view. That, is what annoys me.
