Without the Shedding of Blood There is No Remission of Sin

[Harry Nevis]

Riiight.  I bet most of the atheists here were raised christian.  Just because you're satisfied with any answer that supports your bias doesn't mean they actually answer the questions.  You're like Trekkies arguing about discrepancies in the Star Trek Universe.

Don't confuse being 'raised Christian' as knowing anything about doctrine. If anything, your example of the atheists here prove that daily. 

Makes you wonder though. If "most of the atheists here were raised christian" obviously rejected Christianity, what did they actually reject if most can't even articulate the key doctrines correctly.

But they can.  You've just had to bathe yourself is a sea of apologetics to keep the rational part of your brain from recognizing that the only reason you believe is that it feels good.  I have no reason to keep up with the nonsense, as the fairy tale can't pass the simplest of tests for existence or reality.

This is astronomically more ridiculous when the builder is omniscient.

Or when the person I'm speaking with is far less omniscient than I myself am.

You can explain Christian doctrine all you want, but youcan't make it  coherent.

I can if you are willing to admit you know very little about biblical principle, and are willing to learn something new/you've probably never heard before.

So now there are degrees of omniscience?  You're a hoot.

If you can't make it coherent without someone grovelling to your higher knowledge, you're egotistical and self-righteous, things that are so apparant in your posts.  A typical american christian.

Could a similar observation be made about the theist members here in regards to their knowledge of atheism/agnosticism? How many times have theists made statements about atheism/agnosticism that were based on misconceptions or misunderstandings of what theists thought those terms meant? Hence, is it a tendency of any in-group to assume that it accurately understands the out-group without actually testing that understanding first hand?

I suppose. But atheism has no doctrines to learn that I can misunderstand.

They could try looking in the dictionary before opening their mouths.  But that would take all the fun out of the self-righteousness, wouldn't it?
