It was not a workable idea. People don't change their beliefs because of what I say very often. It has happened, I think, but you can't make a person drink the water after leading them to it.

Bill says he's an agnostic who believes in evolution and the big bang, and Coca Puff says he believes God created the world in 6 days and that Jesus is his savior. I don't agree with either side, at least not entirely, but how can I change these beliefs they hold?

Classic Xer believes that democrats create dependency and are leaches. Trickle-down economics, as I call that general ideology. Reagan's imaginary welfare queen. It has lots of believers. Why do I think I can change his mind by arguing with him? I know I can't. It's just a mental exercize, and at the very most informative for others who might read it. Even that is unlikely.

It works the other way more often. I make mistakes in my thoughts and ideas, sometimes, and I learn things from others, sometimes, because there's a lot I don't know, especially on the more factual level.

I'm a deist who is more on the side of creation considering we aren't monkey's as science has now proven without a doubt. If liberals want to stick with Darwin's Theory of Evolution until the day they die by all means be my guest. So, how many climate changes has mankind, or humanity as we call it today, been through since it's existence. I'd say quite a few. Do you know what your problem is, you spend to much time hanging  with clueless people and focusing on recruiting or taking advantage of clueless or desperate people. You're right about one thing, sooner or later the blues are going to find themselves being stuck in one bathtub or state that is completely separated from the United States.

Ha ha. I don't seem to be that successful at recruiting clueless people, as I admitted. And I don't hang out with too many people like you, so I don't spend much time hanging with clueless people anyway. I agree we aren't monkeys, but we evolved from a common ancestor, way far back, but Darwin's mechanistic account is inadequate. There, I spoke the truth, so now ya know  If you conservees want to stick with climate change denial until the day you die, by all means be my guest. But it's why you guys are anathema to us blues.
