It's not perfectly clear to me what your purposes are in asking these questions. For instance, it could be some combination of:
and several other things I can think of and probably several more I can't.
If your objectives aren't perfectly clear in your own mind you'll probably get less from this exercise than you could. If they aren't clear to us in this thread you'll probably get less helpful suggestions than you could.
I should have been more clear. My purpose is "helping me to see the error of my ways, if I'm wrong." If I am right, then I don't care too much about converting them, but if I am wrong, I very much want to be converted. I'm basically trying to glean as much insight/wisdom from them as I can.
Any suggestions on how I can trade-off the other goals to maximize this one?
