@David1955 Prefect anology.

Yes, sad. But I would not suggest he is at fault or somehow defective for making such effort. Rather, it shows that anyone immersed deeply in a social circle dictated by such religious indoctrination, who naturally cares for some of his primary familial relationships, would understandably hold some desperate hope that he could reason his loved ones free of their communal delusions. The sadness is in the tenacity of that delusion's grip and the damage it likely does to his ability to honestly relate ro his own family. I think I know how he feels. My 83 year old father continues to live life with his head stuck deep into his Bible.

You might think of this young man's presentation not as a folly of a campaign, but instead as a mental agility exercise for himself, to help himself strengthen his own powers of reasoning and evidence-based learning.

@MikeInBatonRouge Yes that is how I see it.

@MikeInBatonRouge I think many of us, in this finely developed First World nation, are way to judgmental. You put it better than I could, though, and I appreciate your thoughts. Thank you.
