TONY: Yet, I find it hard to swallow that you are unable to make a choice. Unable and unwilling are not the same things. If you made a choice, you have to face the prospect of being wrong. The question is, what's wrong with being wrong?

DHW: That’s not the question at all! I referred a while ago to the situation of the logical ass who starved to death standing between two identical bags of hay. I cannot choose between two equally believable and unbelievable arguments, although one of them must be true. This means that in my agnosticism, I AM wrong. So as you rightly ask, what’s wrong with being wrong? Fortunately, however, I shan’t starve to death. I can wait and see, or not see, depending on whether God does or does not exist.

Well, then, I shall just refer to you as a wrong, stubborn, logical ass and hope you don't choke on the hay when you get it.

DAVID: I value our friendship so much. It has opened up my mind to new avenues of thought.

That was the purpose of setting up the website, and I echo both your statements to the full!
