But you CAN help other people realize there are different premises, right? It's not impossible; I mean... for some people it might be, But there are even some steadfast religious folk who will still exchange and engage philosophy logically. I agree 100% with what you say, and disagree with forcibly trying to change people, but I still think it's worthwhile to bring up and talk about the premises with most people.
