I'm questioning the logic of that position.
If he's saying that Christianity necessarily turns people into pricks, then he needs to support that. Hence my question, Are you saying that Christians are necessarily pricks like you were?
I think most atheists have known some decent Christian people, though, so I doubt he wants to make that argument. Which means that Christianity doesn't necessarily make people pricks, and he could have been a decent person as a Christian if he had approached it differently.
A more probable conclusion would be:
Some people are not pricks despite being Christian.
"and he could have been a decent person as a Christian if he had approached it differently"
Isn't that for him to say rather than you on his behalf?
