People do change their minds! Street Epistemology with Anthony Magnabosco. This is part two with Daniel who did change his mind. I really like Anthony's approach.
Thanks for posting. Often it only takes planting a small seed to get another person to really think...about religion or any topic.

                                        It really does! One of my friends did that for me about 20 years ago. It was a brief conversation, but it did leave me curious to challenge my beliefs. The books I read, which I don't recall now, were more logical to me and swayed me more than any religious ones were.
::buzzer sound:: In "Hinduism" (a horrid word) we don't have 'one true god'. Some of us are secular, some believe in a few, others believe in one of many. The concept is called ishta devata. Instead of hinduism they should say sanatan dharma.

                                        One of the best ways to break circular reasoning and self justifying premises, is just to knock away one small idea and let through the torrent of reason to wash away all the crap.
