English as a Second Language Podcast
ESL Podcast 681 – Disagreeing about Religion

Note: 
This is a dialogue between a man, Jean and a woman, Tammy. The conversation is completely explained in detail, vocabulary, and some common patterns by the host. The conversation is debating on religion, a taboo topic among people. Some people believe in their own faith, but some are agnostics. Nevertheless, one should still show the respect for people having different view about spirituality. One should not baiting on the other people’s faith, and making criticizing remark toward people, which is an impolite behavior.     
As it comes to religion topic during the conversation, the provocative statement should not be made to avoid insult toward others. In the conversation, there is a statement saying that
beliefs are made to be challenged, therefore the believers should know how to defend themselves. I totally disagree with the words, for as long as people genuinely believe in what they truly believe in, even superstition for people, there is no need to defend for their beliefs.
