Van Tillian/Clarkian Presuppositional Apologetics.
RE: Van Tillian/Clarkian Presuppositional Apologetics.

Quote:So I guess that’s the story in a nutshell.
So you had a pretty religious back ground. A rather religious environment. I wonder if that played a part.
My up brining is quite different. My early school tried to convert me into Christianity long before I could read or write. Years later when I became aware of their attempts, I was quite annoyed. Once I reached 8, religious teaching dropped dramaticly, I guess they could no longer take advantage of my age and gullibility. Religion disappeared completely once I started high school. For years religion never came to mind. I didn't know what atheism was till I was around 17. Looked it up and then I knew what I was. Joined a few atheist forums and that's where I really started to learn things. Both religion and science. At first I was useless at debating any theist, but as knowledge grew as well as experience in debating, I became alot better at it. It was by looking into religion that I encountered many fallacies. So it became almost too easy to argue against. But yeah, my back ground was mostly secular, but never was I pushed into atheism since I didn't know what an atheist was. Religion was the only one trying to push me into anything. Back fired though.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
