Aren't we all under the obligation to test our beliefs? Step outside of ourselves and search for truth in all manners. I doubt many atheists on this forum would be willing to give prayer with a genuine heart a test drive.
I agree that atheists should be willing to examine arguments against atheism. But what about you? Have you examined your beliefs skeptically the way a Buddhist or a Muslim or an atheist would look at them, or did you just shoot back a response?
