I don't think anyone would understand that feeling,ever!
It's like living in the moon where i'm the only person and then i find another person there one day!
(Actually one of my friends is able to grasp my reasoning but he is too close minded when it comes to religion.He is a devoted christian.Oh,look at that,the smartest person i've known up until my life is a devoted christian,not that it correlates with intelligence,just a pleasant coincidence.)
@Neimenovic, I'd be lying if i said i didn't want to give all the mean atheists a taste of their own medicine.
I get where you're coming from. But that's the point - some won't. It's for you to build that bridge of understanding then, if there isn't one, yet you want to cross that river(excuse the overindulging metaphors). I know why you feel the need to give some atheists a taste of their own medicine, but if you think about it, it won't solve anything. Atheists are not really the kind of people to be persuaded by such means.
Neimenovic, the key is to first understand what the person says if you are bent on engaging said person in a conversation. You can't just talk in terms that would appear enigmatic to every single person that hasn't shared your particular experience and knowledge up to this point and expect them to simply bow to your reasoning just because it's obviousness is so blatant to you alone between you and aforementioned people. You'll end up simply alienating everyone you meet, and you know it. So why the exception here? It's no use doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results - well, I'm sure you know whose definition that is.
