Recent experience in almost unwanted introspection (the best kind, i suppose) has made me really not want to pursue the very ego-driven practice of arguing/debating politics or religion, unless it is a belief that is causing overt harm to other people. Or I happen to be drunk. Otherwise, it's just not worth it, and I understand that many people simply need to believe in something like religion because the prospects of both a meaningless existence, and a final death are actually very terrifying.
That being said, I will always have a place in my heart for the logic contained in these little guilty pleasures.
