Winning the argument

I very rarely venture into waters flavoured by politics or religion because those are two elements that turn the most enlightened into ravening dog packs for no apparent reason.

The fine art of debate is always lost under a rant of personalities and feelings and where is the fun in that? I once engaged in debate with a Jesuit and an Anglican bishop over tea (and sherry and single malt scotch) about God. It was an hour or two of deep conversation, impassioned diatribes and vividly evocative language with not one insult or note of condecension.

Two weeks later I ran into the Jesuit (not literally) in town and he shook my hand and said my case for God being a woman had a great deal of merit and he had been thinking about my argument and discussing it with his colleagues.

I was aghast. Devastated. At a loss. A serious breakthrough for feminists and I had forgotten the arguments I used. Sometimes there is a reason to hold on to things for longer than a moment
