Regardless, in this day and age, having meaningful conversations in a respectful way is not only necessary but I’d go so far as to say, it’s mandatory. That is, if the overall objective is the well being of society.
Our discussion with Atheist Eric D. Murphy and Muslim Ahmad Siddiqui opened our eyes at how important it is to slow down when handling hot topics. There’s not much slowing down these days, and we’re doing ourselves a disservice as a result. Yet, there is still a growing number of people who are hungry to learn, seeking truth and passionate about productive conversations.
