There are case studies set up to explore this, and because of this work we know for a certainty that this is the case. I would wager that you might look the same, but I bet you would act very differently. Too bad you add the mystical invisible man into the equation; now you can spin your story however you want because all you have to do is say, "goddiditandmademethisway".
Spin what? When have I stuffed anything down your throat? My approach is subtle, and what I hope is; thought provoking! At least to those receptive of that method. But, if you are just going to put words and thoughts in me that aren't there....then there is no need to converse any further.
That is a consistent problem with a lot of atheists around here! Once we find [any] common thread, it's immediately torn down and tossed out as coincidence, irony or humoring. It's always an exclaimation point of disgust after an affirmation!
Is it peer pressure that doesn't want you/others to possibly agree in [any] way with a Christians ideas or concepts relating (ie not directly) about God or religion?
Or just a shutdown mechanism inside (CHRISTIAN MAY HAVE A POINT ALERT!), that always ends an agreement situation with a scoff?
Either way, its childish and disheartning that someone can't separate themselves from their peers and stand on their hid legs. A few here can. But not many.
