- Debates are described as dangerous because persuasive skill can outweigh truth, whereas friendly, thoughtful discussions are preferable for productive exchange.
- If there is no God, there is no objective meaning, making purpose arbitrary; if there is a God, meaning and moral purpose are grounded objectively.
