How to convert an atheist
|
Yeah, they taught me that shit in bible school. While teaching me not to question the bible. Research led to one thing, and the very arguments I was making to the atheists proved to be full of bullshit. I could never PROVE things that book was saying, only things that proved it was all a lie.

"Just don't give in. After their arguments about any advantages of being atheist, say that their arguments are relatively good points, but not enough to convert you to atheism. " Yeah, that's an open, honest approach to dialog. "No matter what happens, don't listen to them!" Typically Christian: Here's what I want, now how do I get what I want regardless of what's true?
So we could improve it
Yeah, it's not perfect, just an improvement over what we usually get. Present company excepted.
Method 1, steps 5-7 seems more likely to result in the Christian abandoning his beliefs. :p That's kind of how it worked for me, anyway.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould
I think I get step 4...
They're conflating the definitions of 'poetic' and 'WRONG!' So whenever you find the bible is wrong, what it said was actually poetry.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
Quote:Verify that the Bible is scientifically correct every time it mentions science, though not a science text. The bible is scientifically correct every time it mentions science? So, never.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
