Not long ago, I had been talking with an atheist about the problems which occur when an atheist and a theist jump on the main topic of the presence of god. He suggested that the atheist needs to be ready for such an encounter. But, I ask why? Why try to reason having a superstitious soul? Nevertheless, the atheist stated he was rather passionate about convincing and converting believers into atheists in order to maintain the separation of church and state. Okay so, let's discuss this we could?

Indeed, he might be correct in the views on the separation of church assuring - but making the rounds and out of one's way to purposefully harass people is exactly what many religious people are doing now. Yes, an atheist, a minimum of in a good many areas of the world, will invariably enter into unanticipated conversations about may be, but perhaps it's best to smile and nod one's head rather than place it onto a chopping block.

Being passionate about one's personal mission is a noble trait, I do not knock it, nevertheless it probably isn't the easy way win friends and influence people in the current period. Further, I personally find arguing or debating this topic to become unenlightening, if someone will claim superstition as fact, there's nowhere to go with it, apart from to leave and never waste anymore time. Why bother, it might be like trying to convince a Juvenile Chimpanzee he should quit his quest for a future promised banana. You can't convince someone against their will, not a Chimpanzee or any of the other upright walking carbon bi-pedal species.

For atheists to suggest that people ought to remove "god" in the pledge of allegiance or remove manger scenes in the parks, or even crosses from the surface 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 exactly the same kind of technique to promote their very own agenda unless they do so in hypocrisy as well as in which case they are not fighting the good fight with reason. This in and of itself defeats the purpose of many atheists to convert Christians, Muslims, Hindus, and other religious folks.
