Hi, Judy! 

I would think debating could be fun whether the 
debaters are feeding their egos or voicing the will 
of God, which strike me as two very different impulses. 
So the fact that I'm having fun may not really tell me 
whether my arguing is abetting my pursuit of 
enlightenment or fooling me into thinking I'm On The Path.
