Technically, there is only one side to a story--what really happened.
If someone is unreasonable, arguing is fruitless.

It depends on the subject. If you are discussing the validity of a mathematical formula, then dialog will result in the proof. At the other extreme when beliefs are being argued, it is less likely to arrive at a resolution, because there is no common ground of accepted facts.
Discussing religion is one of these areas where finding common ground is difficult if not impossible. Attempting to debate the comparative merits of two different religions can lead to very strong reactions and no common ground. Examining the merits of an Atheistic philosophy and some religion is even more likely doomed to failure.

If you are going to debate the truth with someone have your facts straight and if possible in some format where they can view them. When you debate them treat it as a court of law. Bring your evidence, not just hear say. This more often than not will help them see the truth. However, if you debate them and don't have this proof you are fighting an uphill battle. About the only thing that will help them see their errors would be the passion you put behind your words. So choose them wisely.

It is a waste of time to argue religious truth with anyone. It's a personal thing. Not for anyone to prove for you or to disprove.

Yes.
I always feel it is a waste of time to argue in general. If you have a different view, it is fine to express it...but arguing shouldn't be necessary.
Perhaps the person has heard other views and really believes they are right.

arguing to the most part is a wast of time now having meaning full conversation where both speaking and listening and trying to understanding the other now that's communication

It is a waste of time to argue period. To argue is to go into a discussion with the attitude of "I am right and you are wrong". Nothing is accomplished.

Not if the person wants to know the other side. It is a waste if the person is narrow-minded, and only wants to know his or her side.

Just have them study the history of the Bible. The true history, not histroy taufght in church. That will allow them to look at things from a real world point of view. If not, theres no hope for them.
