I recently came across this video and thought I would share it. I highly recommend it, because it shows that having a civil, friendly discussion about religion, while still challenging each others' viewpoints is possible. I hope that people watch this, and see how kind and considerate the man is when interviewing the two young missionaries. Atheists/agnostics often have a reputation of being jerks, and I admit I certainly haven't always been the nicest in my debating tactics on this site. But I think all of us, including myself, can learn something from this guy (Chris LaForest) about how to challenge people's opinions without being disrespectful. No matter which side you're on, I think you'll come away from watching this debate feeling encouraged, because it is a great example of people discussing and disagreeing about challenging topics, while still behaving like mature and respectful adults.
