On another thread, someone asked about changes of opinion on evolution/creationism. I was wondering if anyone has had a change of opinion about anything based on posts to this forum.While I had a change of opinion on war in Iraq (was against, now for), it was more because I felt compelled to think about it, rather than because of any arguments.
Kat has forced me to be more accurate on the facts about my stance on Israel (I am still middle of the road, but now I back my wishy-washy arguements with more accurate facts!)
Mentat gave me a very vigorous and enlightening arguement about the prophet Isaiah in which we both failed to convince the other of our views, but both probably learned a bit.
My experience here has made me even more certain of the paradoxical statement, "Facts are ideas that change from day to day. Opinions are ideas that never change."
