instead of trying to ridicule Jehovah's witnesses all the time,
how about just promoting your own form of religion and let the people decide if your love of God, or spirit, or creator, or alien space monkey is worth following, taughtbuffet
I agree that there is no need to get nasty with individuals.
However if people use an open forum like HC to promote their religion, they should expect searching questions and comments.
IMO, the benefits for the individual being challenged are several and include:
It provides opportunities to clarify misconceptions.
It provides opportunities to state opinions on important issues.
Last, but by no means least it helps the individual clarify his/her own beliefs and views for him/herself.
So in the spirit of learning from other and from alternative perspectives I don't think discussion should be confined to just stating our own positions.
