I’ve come to the conclusion that some people just don’t want to listen. I’d be better off trying to sell them promotional products than trying to reason with them from Scripture.
Of course, this is not the case in most places, except on message boards. I frequent a couple and although everyone claims to be there to “learn different perspectives,” all they really spend time doing is picking apart everything that is written, and then questioning your salvation.
That’s to say nothing of the name-calling and other obnoxious behavior I’ve observed. I’m getting to the point, definitely, where I see no point in continuing to engage in reasoning with unreasonable folks, especially on a faceless chat board.
Folks tend to relate a bit more civilly when face-to-face, even during disagreements.
