TheraminTrees is great. Have you seen the collaboration he did with QualiaSoup on Pascal's Wager? It was amazing.
Anyway, he makes an extremely good point in the video. People don't just stick with the same ideas their whole lives. Nearly everyone on this board went through a transitional phase where this sort of information would prove instrumental in shaping future beliefs. You can argue someone out of and even into a religion, and this board proves that many times over. I've never liked the notion of just leaving everyone to believe as they choose. People should learn to enjoy having their views challenged, and discussion should be promoted.
