Personally I have had religious debates with my muslim friends, and they by no means have shown to feel even the slightest bit threatened. Also a topic of debate might not only have 2 options (agree/disagree), there may be other opinions regarding the topic, so being open-minded is to not blindly shut out others opinions but hear them out.
GOod for you having that argument with civilise religious fren. If u are trying to said the entire entity of Malaysians are open-minded enough to talk about it, then the church and kampung wouldn't being disgrace by some extremists.
THere is two type of argument, whether is a discussion or debate, it is always up to the reader or critics whether to choose which one of it. Agree or disagree. Accept or denying. Most philosophers i could see prefer discussion because they are wise enough to do so and wouldn't self-contradict themselves. But we the malaysian, come on, not all of us are up to the standard to start a truly well-respected discussion, because the fact is that there is still many contradiction, irrationality and misunderstanding going on. If u can always succeeding by starting a discussion, is either u are passive-thinker and courtesy is your priority or the entire discussion group are wise and logic. The truth is stop being a hypocrite, we are nowhere near 1st class-minded citizen. I felt disgusted because it remind me of my dearly government. Let us start from scratch.
DEbate = comparison of facts based on rationality and logic
Discussion = Sharing is caring!!
COme and shoot me back!!! My pleasure!!!

HaHa... communist892003 I think you have grown up since your first landing in this forum, still interested to enforce your philosophy concept to the people here? Now you are talking like one of us. The closed minded feel agitated when others don't agree with their views especially in religion and take it as an insult, the free thinker's intelligence is also insulted by religion and told that god cannot be questioned, as if we are not suppose to know who and what gave birth to us, never question your parents.
There are many intelligent replies but were ignored, I learn and enjoy those contributions that made me addicted to this forum.
Long way ahead to talk like u guys. I fail my education and i prefer to talk broken english. Additionally, I never even read a book beside textbook, what else to said a book about philosophy. Here i am interested with philosophy and shitting inside here just to be part of it. Because, philosophy save my soul. AMen.
Erk, lai add facebook. Facebook is my only book that i interested.
