Are all atheists this ill-informed about religion?
RE: Are all atheists this ill-informed about religion?
Here's a little exercise I thought of that might help theists understand what it's like to be on the atheist side of these discussions.

Just pretend, for a moment, that everything you're talking about isn't real. God, and everything you say about him, is referring only to an imaginary character in your head. Everything about your religion is completely untrue. Just make believe for a second. Now imagine what your words would sound like, in this new version of the world. What would they sound like to you, if you thought the person was referring to nothing that was actually real?

If you can do that, you'll get an idea of what your words sound like to an atheist. I'm not saying "atheists are right", this is just an exercise to help give you perspective.
Feel free to send me a private message.
Please visit my website here! It's got lots of information about atheism/theism and support for new atheists.
