> Look at you trying to change my beliefs via rational debate. What a hypocrite.

LOL this is only proving my point. You're digging your heels and getting angrier without changing. You're right, I'm wasting my time.

My point is that you can, and should, try to change people's minds about stupid beliefs. And I gave examples of that.

Your point is that it is impossible to change peoples minds.

If that is what you believe then why were you trying to change someone's mind?

If I accept your belief, then that goes back to my earlier question: why should anyone have bothered to change peoples minds about slavery or racism? Why not leave it as it was?
