On religion, I was raised a Methodist. When I was in my 20's, a Pentecostal colleague persuaded a group of us to go to church with him. Afterwards, we had lunch. One of us was an atheist, and a brilliant guy. He was born in Brazil, moved here when he was 12 years old, came from a lower middle class family and graduated from an Ivy League school. Anyway he started arguing with the Pentecostal. The Pentecostal started crying, uncontrollably, and it went on for about 15 minutes. He was hurt that the atheist was winning the argument, and even more hurt that the atheist was damned and would spend eternity in hell.
Then about 10 years later I'm at the Temple of the Mormon Church in Salt Lake City. There are certain things about Mormonism that I've always thought are just ridiculous. So at the end of the tour, I started peppering a young woman with questions, difficult ones, about the history of her religion. She got really, really mad. I pretty well blew her day, maybe her week.
After those two experiences I pretty much stay away from conversations about religion with anyone I don't know well and agree with. There's no upside.
