But there is that little part of the brain that slams shut as soon as certain differing viewpoints come into the fore.

If we want to win anyone over (and bob knows many are convince-able!) it will be through more diplomatic efforts than "You all suck" or whatever.

I don't believe the religious should be treated with kid gloves, hell no! Well over that bullshit. Just no need to shame or otherwise make someone feel negative, I always remind myself they are as duped as anyone else has ever been. Some cling to it for their very lives, they will be that way forever. Many though are not so far gone from reality though and could very respond to reason. It seems to me to be happening with a greater frequency than ever these days. Thank bob!
