Summary

This quote suggests that engaging in arguments with those who strongly hold onto their beliefs is not in vain, despite its apparent futility. The dialogue and exchange of ideas during such arguments can still be valuable. It implies that even if one does not manage to change the minds of those who are firmly entrenched in their beliefs, the process of discussing and challenging these beliefs can still lead to personal growth, understanding, and perhaps even the expansion of one's own perspective. Ultimately, it suggests that there is something to gain from engaging in arguments with the faithful.
