And, of course, *nobody* expects to actually be convinced of anything they didn't start out believing. At best, they're gathering data for future arguments with people who might be convinced of something.
I certainly don't expect to see anything from terrazoids that I haven't seen in several dozen online religious debates, and my own religious beliefs are pretty much impervious to standard proselytizing methods. I enjoy the back-and-forth, but it's not persuasive. I'm vaguely hoping to see something new, or an old argument presented in a new light, but not expecting it.

I was just asking if some stuff had been read by the poster, should be a yes or no sort of answer, shouldn't require much skull sweat. *shrug*
