But sometimes it does help to put on that christian hat and work within their framework. I think it does help if you are attempting to reach out to people and help them understand, because most people are raised to believe in God as fact just as the sun is real. I know how it's hard to reverse that thinking and realize the sun actually shows it exists and god doesn't. I know because I did it myself. There's a big disconnect in thinking between theists and atheists a lot of times and I think it is worth it sometimes to go within their framework because that's the only way they can understand. Some atheists see the value in it, other's don't.
You have said what I wanted to say, but I didn't feel it was right for me to say it.
