One of the founding fathers of the US was supposed to have advised that we don't bother answering fools because the average man will eventually see through the foolishness and reject it. Sad to say, this has not proven to be sound advice. Christians may be fools, but they did not spread their lies so prolifically by being dummies. They know what they are doing and we must always be ready to answer them. We must always remember what it was that enlightened us. Otherwise, we could get caught up in their continued pathos and quasi-logos. It's so easy to slip into doing what everyone else is doing. So hard to stand our ground when we stand alone. Our stories will gird us up and keep us reminded of why we stand.
I don't disagree with this statement. But it will always be an uphill battle for an atheist. They label us as "Evil" and all sorts of other nasty things, we just call them people. (Delusional people, but still 'people'). It's hard to fight that kind of stigma. A saying comes to mind:
"Never argue with idiots, they drag you down to their level than beat you with experience."
There may be no perfect set of parameters, and I'm starting to believe religion will likely be around forever, in some form or another.
I reject your reality and substitute my own!
