Debating with theists.
#18
RE: Debating with theists.
Normally I don't feel any guilt at all, but once in a while I will find myself speaking with an individual who has devoted their entire life to a specific religion. For example, my father has been a devout christian his entire life. He is the pastor of a church and that is his full time job. I would love to have a down to earth discussion with him, but then I think, what if I succeeded? What if I deconverted him? That would mean he would have to re-evaluate every decision he's ever made, it would mean he would lose every single one of friends, his livelyhood and his job! That makes me feel guilty. Maybe on some very rare occasions ignorance is bliss?
