In that scenario, an atheist telling a believer that there's no God and presumably convincing him a little bit, for otherwise it wouldn't matter, would have the potential of being devastating, psychologically speaking. Now turn it around and have the odd atheist in that situation being preached to by a believer and you've got nothing more but annoyance at the idiocy and tactlessness of the other, no matter how vitriolic the deliverance. In the grander scheme of things the believer, of course, could potentially provoke an enormous amount of harm by this action whereas the other couldn't possibly ( after all he would be merely exposing far-fetched fantasies about the world for what they are). But there's a time and place for everything. We shouldn't even think to stoop so low just because some of our ideological opponents do so on a regular basis.(October 22, 2015 at 5:07 pm)Easy Guns Wrote: Read, laugh, enjoy.Now lets turn this around.
Feel free to follow up with other ridiculously hilarious things people post all over Facebook and other social media outlets regarding religion.
If one of us had gone into a disaster area and started saying to struggling victims "You know there's no god don't you!" we'd be seen as dicks, but it is the same thing!!
