Do you argue with religious people?
#40
RE: Do you argue with religious people?
I was a stong atheist, at the time I first signed up here at AF. I learned a bit about logic, and theistic arguement, before I went to see my estranged Father in Queensland. We clashed a great deal, and he was telling me that I was with Satan. It wasn't good for our relationship - what was left of it in the first place, and my arguing (I think) wasn't to blame.
Now I think it's sometimes better to censor yourself when you're talking to someone who you would like to keep in your life than to argue against the persons most cherished idealism. Nonetheless, I'd still prefer to be able to be honest with a person, and if they can't accept that I have a different point of view then maybe that person isn't worth keeping in my life.
