Sandlynn, I don't believe discussions are only possible and are only meant to be if the other side bends. Maybe it's us who need to bend? Who determines which opinions need to change and which should stay?

As far as I can tell by what goes on here, there's still a lot to discuss even when we know others aren't going to change their opinions about something, it hasn't stopped us before. As long as I'm not told what I myself absolutely have to think or feel or believe, I personally have no problem with true believers who state and stick to their own opinions even if I disagree with them.
I'm not saying the other person has to bend, but when you have a discussion with someone who thinks that the opposing position is reprehensible, there's no reason to have a discussion at all.
