Just a waste of time.
When you grow up you tend not to change your lifetime believes.
Nevertheless i would confront again and again dogmatic people.
In fact this is what i am doing right now in this forum.
Dogmas or false truth do not belong only to religion.
There are all sort of dogmas.
Political, economics, nationalists, atheists and so on and on.
atheists don't agree with people who think there is a god. There is no dogma.
I never said that what you mention is a dogma.
One atheist dogma is to expect physical evidence about something that may not be physical like an hypothetical God.
One more atheist dogma is to expect an hypothetical God to show up to someone (an atheist) that is not interested in knowing Him.
An other funny atheist dogma is to pretend that the consciousness that we got is just a case, nothing therefore to imply that this consciousness has been
achieve after long long hard work.
Even religious people believe that the manna fall from the sky as a God gift.
