Where religion contradicts science, I'll debate it. While the idea of a supreme being is absolute nonsense in my mind, it's a nonfalsifiable claim and I don't bother with it.

When it comes to ideology, people start with a conclusion and build premises to support it.

i said "oh, you mean "mep-da." that's an "m."
"no, BEP-da."
i asked him if he spoke korean, he said no, but his friends would say bep-da. i explained to him i spoke, read, and wrote korean, having lived there a year and gone briefly to Yonsei University. i told him the korean word for spicy is "mep-da" and that was an "m" on his hat.
he insisted it was a "b" for beb-da.
a third friend joined in, explaining that i actually spoke korean, he didn't not, he should probably believe me. he would not.

At least it was just a hat and not this guy, who wanted a tattoo of "Strength" in Japanese.
