Ex Theists

[Eilonnwy]

Catholic. I have a longtime goal of getting officially excommunicated.

But anyway, I think first generation atheists do have some advantage in debating. They can put their theist hat on, in a manner of speaking, and understand their reasoning better and hopefully work their arguments around it. It's not always true, but I think it can help. I've seen atheists who have argued a point and they don't seem to understand why their argument is flatly refused by a theist.
