Democrat debate

If anyone thinks you can change someone's mind about religion or politics by arguing on the internet, I suggest you need serious counseling. You cannot change a mind without first changing the heart.

I agree with you. You see the news & protests with groups such as ANTIFA that seem to think you can change peoples mind with a baseball bats in riot gear, or some other form of violence. People that show up to those events have their ideas already ingrained.

Unfortunately, this has been done with success many times, Under Hitler, he was able to get his picture up in churches, People turned on each other and many fell inline

This is a sad thing that has happened many many times in history, By force people believed what they were told, In the dark ages as well, Many times before

Antifa is using these same tactics that have worked before

This does not make it right, far from it.
 
Jesus was a philosopher; a teacher. He consistently condemned the accumulation of wealth (capitalism) while teaching the virtues of equally distributing resources (socialism).

Jesus claimed to be God... others called him a philosopher and others called him a teacher... he was (is) much more... he claimed not to be just the Messiah, but the son of God and God himself...

Now you have one of only two choices...
  1. Use the name of a professed liar, a deranged hypocrite who's teachings have led millions to their deaths by following false claims, to promote a twisted earth based ideas...
  2. or... Fall down an worship him as Lord and Savior of all the Son of the Most High
You cannot change a mind without first changing the heart.

And yet... we cannot change the heart of someone.

This is pretty accurate. And I'd say the success isn't even much better on other topics. 92% of communication in positions of persuasion and influence come from body language and tonality. We're not able to use any of those powers and triggers to the subconscious through typing words, no matter how logical. But I suppose it's fun to try.
 
One thing Jesus didn't do was to teach a village how to fish, while at the same time, operating a fishing lure company. Those who benefit from capitalism must also live under its effects. Few capitalists would keep quiet if a giant chemical factory opened in their own back yard, even if they owned stock in that company. It's a double edged sword.
