Do you have something substantive to add to this description? link

Yes. A nuanced, open, dynamic conversation instead of a four point blurb.

Irrelevant to the current discussion.

Conversations have segues. It's there as a thread in case you want it.

At this point though, you don't want to have a conversation. You want to state your case that religion is bad and I counter that it's more nuanced than that. We've done that, to death at this point, with nothing new.

There is no fair shake to give. I don't pretend to understand the experience of combat veterans because I have never been in a life or death struggle.

There's a difference between understanding and knowing. I understand that war is bad, even if I don't know war first hand.

So now, unless you want to say something new, I think we should the conversation is done. Not because I'm angry, not because I don't want to talk to you, but because we've both said what we've had to say multiple times now and haven't gotten anywhere new, so there's no point in talking.

Let me be perfectly clear here though, because I don't want you to be upset. At least on my end there is no animosity between us, I appreciate the points we did share today and even though we don't see eye to eye I always appreciate your perspective. I don't ever want you to feel unwelcome in any conversation with me, religious or otherwise.

I hope you have a good day man and I really hope you can catch up on some sleep soon.
