Is Discussion Possible? 


Brian Trapp at christianthinker.net has been observing our dialogues about ethics here from a distance. He's wondering if real discussion is possible when our fundamental bases for decision making are so far apart--between the Christians/theists and the atheists who visit here. 

He raises an excellent question, and advises that when there is major disagreement we take the topic as far back to its roots as possible. He acknowledges we've done that here to a good extent, though he's not so sure in regard to the way we've handled matter of homosexuality. He has served up some real food for thought. It's a sobering follow-up to previous thoughts on how unique this medium is.
