Quote: Their minds are already made up. If they go looking for errors and "contradictions" they will assuredly always "find" them.
No, not really. If our minds were already made up, we’d still be christians. For the most part atheists have an open mind, and for the most part christians don’t. They are the ones with their minds already made up. Atheists, in general are open to new evidence and discoveries. Christians, generally, don’t like these discoveries, because it contradicts with some of their fairy tales in their book. Sorry, if extraordinary claims are made, and, we, the people using logic, don’t believe them. We will not believe every little story in your book, just because it’s written in a book, and a claim about said book, is that it’s the word of god. We have good reason that it isn’t, it’s you, and others christians, who don’t listen to those reasons.

No, common sense gives us the advantage.
If, god actually inspired a book, it wouldn’t be full of holes, and maybe, the morality in it, would be a little..how should I say this…uhh…less evil.
Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' -Isaac Asimov-
