The Left Hemisphere is a resource and reading list for rationalists, skeptics, free-thinkers, and humanists, both secular and theistic. While each person is, and must be, free to believe as he or she wishes, there is a clear distinction to be drawn between faith and reason. Believing something to be true because you want it to be be true, or because you were told that it is true, should never take precedence over believing something to be true or false because the best evidence of the world around you shows it to be so. This is still no guarantee against being wrong, but for now it's the best we can do. After all, we're only human.

An excellent resource for determining the logical consistency of an argument offered in support of a given position may be found in Constructing a Logical Argument. Though this is part of the Atheism Web, and deals primarily with God and the Bible, the principles are applicable to any debate based on logic and reason.

Charter

Those who wish to seek out the causes of miracles, and to understand the things of nature as philosophers, and not to stare at them in astonishment like fools, are soon considered heretical and impious, and proclaimed as such by those whom the mob adore as the interpreters of nature and the gods.
--Benedict Spinoza--
