Your name doesn't suit you.
Meh. I've studied philosophy - particularly ethics, epistemology, and the philosophy of religion - quite intensively for a number of years. I could comfortably debate anyone on here about God's existence or whether or not Jesus lived. The problem is that this forum is filled with fanatics who *shock* believe and try to back up why they believe rather than looking at the evidence and determining from there.
Further, once you get a ways into philosophy it is pretty difficult trying to have any type of redeeming conversation about it with someone who isn't read themselves. It's like talking football with someone who only watches the Superbowl every year. I have resigned myself to almost never debating religion because, honestly, there is no point, but I am sometimes tempted to post things that declare my overall feeling, such that religion is stupid.
