I came across this conversation on a post on Facebook, and I was amazed at how connected it is to our class.
Most of the points expressed are from the "viewpoint" of the עמל, as far as basing one's arguments on his or her own logic and experiences, but the first claim is what really got my attention: "You should give up on religion like I did. It makes life a lot happier." This reminded me of the viewpoint of the נהנה at the very end of his speech, when he basically gives up on G-d and becomes a hardcore hedonist.
After that, both participants of the discussion (borderline argument) turn to debating the existence of G-d. The discussion itself is not necessarily directly related to our class, but their method of argument definitely is. We said in class that the יראי אלוקים thinks that the חכם's method of relying on his own intellect, morals, and experiences for his view of the world is bad and that his intellect telling him that something is true does not make it so.

I don't know if that made any sense to anyone, but either way feel free to throw in your two cents, whether on this "foreword" or about your opinion on the discussion/argument itself. Enjoy!
