The Sean Fagan Vincent Twomey controversy/dialogue trundles on. Readers of 'The Irish Times' continue to contribute letters on the topic.
They all come with their own beliefs and opinions. Has anyone been influenced to think again about their views as a result of the letters that have appeared?
What makes us take a stand, what makes us hold certain beliefs? Is it reason? What influences us to think and act as we do?
Are entrenched ideas something 'bad'?
May be it is far more important to see things in terms of people and how we interact with them.
Reading the Fagan Twomey letters one gets an impression that there is great anger about it - on both sides. That may be a good thing. At least it takes the veil off the secrecy of the anger.
