Recently, I was talking with an atheist about the problems which occur when an atheist and a theist get on the main topic of the presence of god. He suggested that the atheist ought to be ready for such an encounter. But, I ask why? Why attempt to reason having a superstitious soul? Nevertheless, the atheist stated he was rather enthusiastic about convincing and converting believers into atheists to be able to keep up with the separation of church and state. Okay so, let's talk about this we could?
Indeed, he might be correct in the thoughts about the separation of church and state - but going around and from one's method to purposefully harass people is exactly what many religious individuals are doing now. Yes, an atheist, a minimum of in a good many parts of the planet, will invariably get into unanticipated conversations about may be, but perhaps it is best to smile and nod one's head instead of put it onto a chopping block.
Being enthusiastic about one's personal mission is really a noble trait, I do not knock it, nevertheless it probably isn't the best way to win friends and influence individuals the current period. Further, I personally find arguing or debating this topic to become unenlightening, if a person will claim superstition as fact, there's nowhere to go with it, apart from to leave and not waste any more time. Why bother, it might be like attempting to convince a Juvenile Chimpanzee he should quit his pursuit of a future promised banana. You cannot convince someone against their will, not really a Chimpanzee or the other upright walking carbon bi-pedal species.
For atheists to point out that people must remove "god" from the pledge of allegiance or remove manger scenes from the parks, or even crosses in the top of a hill, well that isn't going to win any friends or influence any people either. Atheists cannot get upset with Christians promoting their beliefs and attempt the same kind of technique to promote their very own agenda unless they do so in hypocrisy as well as in that situation they aren't fighting the good fight with reason. This by itself defeats the purpose of many atheists to convert Christians, Muslims, Hindus, and other religious folks.
