She actually sounds very sad and defensive.
I would first off like to point out that this girl does not have a "complete" world-view (she is avoiding the big questions by ignoring them). These kind of atheists are boastfully-shallow and unintellectual. Any atheist that gives their life any thought at all will be faced with many big questions. There are many big questions that have nothing to do with whether there is a God or not. I would be willing to bet this girl did not come to atheism on her own (doesn't appear to be a thinker). If she was raised as a Christian, surrounded by Christians, she would be a Christian (or perhaps a friend/boyfriend talked her out of her religion). While all of this doesn't make her a horrible person, it also doesn't qualify her to be representing the atheist perspective. These sort of atheists give believers so much material to build their straw-men.
Get in the closet, we don't want you out...
Why do you want to embarrass this girl in this way? She may seem 'unitellectual' to you, but to me you are very judgemental and extremely insensitive, not to mention elitist. People cannot change their I.Q., but they can do a whole lot about changing their attitude. Maybe there's a way you can make your point without the need to humiliate anyone?
ReplyDeleteHow did I humiliate her?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure she could care less about my opinion.
Besides, I doubt she will even come across this website :)
