It is not typical of Christians. Most Christians I know do NOT engage in this method of discussion.

I'm going to pull a quote from the otherwise overtly political article "The God delusion of secular liberals." Needless to say, this is the kind of obnoxious projection that makes it impossible to have a constructive dialogue with people who are incapable of recognizing simple concepts. Simple concept number 1: Some people don't worship anyone or anything, no matter what your holy book says. And you don't get to define worship into existence. Worship is not the same thing as honor or respect or prioritization. And for the love of hate, atheists don't worship themselves. We don't think highly enough of ourselves to do such a thing. 2. Morality does not come from religion. If it dud, the expression "BuT iT wAs AnOtHeR tImE" would not exist. The evolving morality of any society often leaves religious tenets way behind. The Bible is less forgiving of cheeseburgers than it is of slave ownership.

The 19 most condescending things people say to atheists Not a great list, and not enough exposition on each item. But mostly a good try.

Oh boy he's babbling again. Ok, enjoy.

Not entirely sure how that relates to topic.

Oh ok. The name Beetlejuice is spoken three times over the course of this series. Immediately after the third time, a familiar figure can be seen in the background, walking past. *** One of the characters apparently realizes he's on a TV show and makes reference to its upcoming cancelation. [It's long since been canceled].

You'll find that is a common theme in these articles. The atheist was declared the loser of the debate without a single example of a failed argument or a successful rebuttal, based on the response of a single person. Oh well.

Into the mind of a convert. Not really impressive to me, but your thoughts may vary.

Ronald Reagan's personal argument for intelligent design. Please note this is not a political discussion. Read the article before commenting, and stick to the topic as raised WITHOUT venturing into the political angle.

Relationship with apologist changes heart of atheist. Menu Relationship with apologist changes heart of atheist JUNE 5, 2024 | SOURCE: TEXAS BAPTISTS Eric Hernandez, apologetics lead and millennial specialist with Texas Baptists’ Center for Church Health, struck up a long-distance friendship with Daniel Nieto at a time when Nieto considered himself an atheist. (Texas Baptists Photo) Teresa Young SHARE THIS ARTICLE FacebookTwitterLinkedInEmailShare After deciding the church didn’t have answers to his many questions about spiritual matters and the soul, Daniel Nieto declared himself an atheist at age 15. From that point, he dove into YouTube video debates between Christians and atheists, never encountering anyone who could change his opinion. “My favorite debaters were atheists, and they made sense to me at the time. I knew there were geniuses who were Christians, but I felt like they were wrong,” said Nieto, a 32-year-old resident of Bakersfield, Calif. “I was debating online all the time, but no one could answer my questions.” In late 2021, Nieto watched a debate between Aron Ra, an atheist activist, and Eric Hernandez, apologetics lead and millennial specialist with Texas Baptists’ Center for Church Health. Expecting the same results he always had experienced—Christians with weak arguments being blown away by the strong-spoken atheists—Nieto was surprised to see the opposite outcome. “I’m really into philosophy, and when I started hearing Eric talk, he was pointing out things I’d never thought about before. It blew my mind a little, and I feel like Aron embarrassed himself in that debate,” recalled Nieto, noting he watched the debate at least a dozen times.

I will be using this thread to highlight the daily alerts I get from Google on the subject of atheism. I will share links, along with thoughts, on articles that pop up, UNLESS those articles force a discussion of politics. The topics raised by each article is fair game for exploration and discussion. The source of the articles are also fair Gane in determining whether they are trustworthy or biased. If you believe I let a political topic slip in, report it or let me know and I will delete it.
