<p>I just also want to add – you will probably find that people’s willingness to engage in debate will likely be directly related to the degree to which they perceive you to be truly open to debate – if you are willing to listen past the fact that religion may be a contributing factor to their beliefs, you will likely learn a lot more about what else they find supports those beliefs. and I am willing to bet that most Brandeis students with an interest in the issue (on whichever side they might be) will be able to offer an intelligent discourse.</p>
