Christianity almost impossible without indoctrination

RE: Christianity almost impossible without indoctrination
(February 17, 2014 at 8:51 am)Sword of Christ Wrote: You don't see many atheists investigating religion and God further than just reading a few choice parts of the Bible and atheist polemic books such as the God Delusion, God is not Great, The End of Faith and Breaking the Spell.

How would you know? How many of the world's population of atheists do you actually personally know, in order to make that sweeping generalization?

I've read the bible cover to cover. My girl Luckie is a former christian who definitely knows hers. In fact, there are numerous former believers just here in our little sample size. So not only do you have no basis for saying that at all, the evidence as it stands proves you demonstrably wrong.

More importantly, this is a transparent dodge, because what you're talking about now isn't indoctrination, seeing as there's no component of not investigating something that discourages investigation in that thing. In order for your point to even be relevant, what you would actually have had to bring to the table is evidence of atheists threatening people with the consequences of not blithely accepting atheism, the same way christians do.
