Right, but how can you be sure that you aren't biased towards your own beliefs? When you argue with somebody of an opposing belief, you are in an argument against a person who won't hold back. There are also instances where your method would be less than beneficial to society, after all there are people who believe that hommosexuals are an abomination, that religion should be taught in science classes, and that women should cover up and speak only when spoken to. It seems that leaving these opinions unquestioned could have disastrous results for society.
Well yes, to you. I also feel that what I know about myself is more important than your opinion, And that is the exact reason why debate is a necessity.
IIN To feel that theists/atheists should debate in a more civil manner

Wow, because you know in your mind and your heart, now I'm convinced. That didn't seem like a call to my emotions at all. Completely logical.
