People of faith are wrestling with this question like never before. While the debate setting doesn't always strike me as beneficial to the larger conversation -- for example, it may foster a culture of making statements AT one another rather than actively, lovingly listening -- a good debate, in my view, presents the interested listener with two thoughtful, opposing viewpoints on the same stage.

And I believe we do get that here.
