Thoughts on Atheism (and a plea to the religious)
#3
RE: Thoughts on Atheism (and a plea to the religious)
I love when theists, who believe the creator of the universe has bestowed upon them the special knowledge that will allow them to spend eternity with him, claims that atheists are the ones lacking humility.

Am I the only one that sees the irony?

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
