On Snobbiness

I disagree with Corey and his initial point in the entry below. I do not think one has to be intellectually snobby to convey their point, and in many cases I think that hinders their ability to change minds. If someone sees you as snobby, they will immediately take you less seriously.

In order to change minds, you have to speak clearly and with strong points. I certainly believe Hitchens has strong points and he also speaks very clearly, but snobbiness to me is not the way to go.

These are sensetive people we are dealing with, their feelings are very easily hurt in respect to their religion, so a person making an argument must be level-headed and calm in their discussion.
