“You see ladies and gentlemen, even though the specimen clearly fights it, even though it greatly desires to remain in bondage to the chains of its irrational mind, with persistence and hard work it can be taught, it can learn. There is still hope that someday this poor depraved creature will have a rational mind and be able to carry on with those of us who were created holy and upright. This gives us one thing to hold onto, one thing we have lacked in the past…hope.”

You see this is what I have been talking about! Here you are, trying to make a case that atheism is somehow more rational than Christianity, but while you are trying to make that case you commit a logical fallacy (even if the writers of the Bible did believe the sun revolved around the earth, which they didn’t, it would not automatically make all of their claims false, that’s called poisoning the well my friend). Do you have any idea how much that undercuts your argument? If you can’t string together one single rational argument why should I believe for a second you are more rational than me when all you have done is given me evidence to the contrary?
