Frequently in our society, even in schools, we are asked to choose between two options and defend it. Whether it's God/no God, evolution/creationism, Republican/Democrat, right/wrong on some given issue, so on, we are asked to pick a cause. If we do not, we are often ridiculed, labeled as "wishy-washy" or "afraid." There is obviously no logic in this since, in many cases in our lives, we do not make a real decision until we have enough information. How is it that this principle does not apply to the "big" things, the abstract?
This doesn't have to be yet another debate among believers, atheists, and agnostics. I'm just asking you all to think about it for a moment, though I have little hope that anyone will realize anything through the question.
I asked elsewhere, now I thought I'd ask here.
