um, no it wasn't ... the discussion centered on whether atheistic scientists
were responsible for the "suffering" of "ordinary" people.

One lesson for Hannu:

If someone chooses not to believe in a god it is not because it is a "pleasant"

"good" to accept the truth.

small language hint:

"Mads so," "Mads," and "Wises" are not english words or phrases.
