I watched this debate the other day and I think this is a really good example of why it matters. In this particular case, especially if you are from the US. I think you would be able to get a lot of your answers here, and also how people not on these forums see it and why it is important.I started wondering about this just now when I was writing a post. There might be many different answers. Sometimes it might be just for the challenge of it or for social interaction. Sometimes when I’m tempted to do it, it’s just to test some ideas to see how well they will float or fly, maybe like experimenting with paper airplanes. Maybe sometimes it’s to help strengthen the beliefs of other people who believe the same way? Maybe sometimes people think that it’s a way of telling people something they might need or want to know? Maybe sometimes people are trying to prove that they aren’t wrong? Prove it to whom?
Do you, personally, often debate against people denouncing your beliefs? If not, then my question was not for you. If you do, then my question is, what are you, personally, trying to do, when you debate against people denouncing your beliefs? Do you, personally, have some aim or purpose in mind? Is there something that you, personally, are hoping to accomplish? Is there some good that you, personally, think it might do for you or for some other people?I watched this debate the other day and I think this is a really good example of why it matters.
