I'm still not sure how people coming from such radically different positions might be able to have a conversation; they'd be effectively speaking different languages to each other. I mean, I don't see why someone who believes in a religion would want to talk about its psychological benefits with someone who has the rather patronising attitude 'well, it's not true, but it might be a comforting lie'.

But I suspect this is one of those boring conversations, so.

(Coincidentally, one of the words I have to prove I can read to be allowed to send this is 'impasse'.)
