They seem different sides of the same 'I'm right, you're wrong,' coin they both enjoy spending without understanding the irony of their actions.

I've never been fond of people 'Selling' their belief, whether they're at my door or standing in my way. As long as they respect my beliefs, I respect theirs.

I agree. The evangelical act strikes me as being disrespectful and offensive.

The most contentious issues have to do with law and public policy.

Few non-Muslims would willingly submit to Sharia Law. Yet, many Muslims would say that Sharia Law is integral to the practice of their religion.

In the U.S. we have Christians with a political agenda.

Religions often act as a political force.

In the political arena we often use debates as a way to present competing ideas and provide information to voters.

Would it be a good idea to have religious debates (and include atheists) to help the undecided to make up their minds?
