So today I, the atheist, (now that I think about it, the blog title may be a giveaway...) got into a debate with a believer, and it went something like this (I don't remember it exactly, but this dialogue will be similar to what was said)...
This was after a class got done, and we just got our tests back...
Christian: "What grade did you get?"
Atheist: "93"
Keep in mind: She doesn't know I'm an atheist yet.
Christian: "You should thank God for that lucky grade"
Atheist: "God didn't stay up to 1 AM studying, and why would he help an atheist?..."
Christian: "Why don't you believe in God? Were you just not raised around religion?"
Atheist: "No, I used to believe, but the more I learned, the more ridiculous the idea seemed to me...obviously for a lot of people it makes sense"
Christian: "If God isn't real then how are you here?"
Atheist: "That's like saying if 'leprechauns don't exist how come there are rainbows?' .."
Christian: "That's a stupid argument...of course God exists, otherwise nothing would have gotten started...."
Atheist: "Not everything needs a point of creation, obviously...you probably believe God has existed forever...I believe energy has existed forever..the difference is that I have good science supporting the idea that energy cannot be created or destroyed...you can't prove God even exists"
Christian: "Atheists are all such close-minded assholes...that's why you don't believe in God"
Atheist: "That must be it...."
Pretty standard atheist vs. Christian debate, I just thought it was funny. I tried to be respectful at first, but when she started not respecting my atheism, I started not respecting her Christianity.
