Feelings and arguing differently

I agree with Crowley that feelings can move a person to different directions and make that person say things that s/he does not really believe in. In the past, when the army was going to war the kings were making some moving speeches to the soldiers(I believe the best sample is the Henry V’s speech to the troops), in addition, in Ottoman army there was a orchestra to move the feelings of the soldiers. (Mehter, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_military_band) The role of feelings in arguing differently cannot be ignored. I think today most of the discussions take place in a way that the anchor tries to make the sides really get mad, cause them start yelling and so on; and ultimately increase rating.(I cannot say it is the case for all of the discussion programs but unfortunately it is not uncommon, either).
However, if the discussions are to arrive a conclusion or solutions, this should not be the case. In fact, the interfaith dialog movements have been damaged with these kinds of blames in the past. Muslims, Christians, Jews who believed in interfaith dialog have been accused changing their faith or not being a real believer (Kurucan, 2006). These blames caused different feelings to occur in people and they lost their faith in the religious leaders, or religious leaders stepped back in their efforts in interfaith dialog.
I liked Crowley’s book so far, but I could not really understand where she wants to arrive with the discussions on Apocalyptism. I hope we will discuss about these tonight.
Enjoy the weather outside, we really missed it:)))
