What do Christians hope to accomplish when they start an argument with an atheist? Do they think they are going to convince us with no evidence that some ridiculous ancient story is obviously true? They know that we know a lot about religion and we have probably heard all their arguments before they even come out of their mouth. So, what is their point?<\/p>\n

My guess is that they don’t really have a point. They probably haven’t thought this through at all. They are probably just hoping that they can rattle off a bunch of arguments and maybe one of them will stick. But the fact is that we have heard all their poorly thought out arguments before.<\/p>\n

They gotta know that the only thing that will convince us is actual evidence and that is the very thing that they don\u2019t actually have. We have to make them realize just how ridiculous their religion really is. We need to get them to step back and look at their religion as an outsider would.<\/p>\n

If they truly believe that their beliefs are not ridiculous, they have nothing to lose by going on the internet and researching possible atheist responses. Let them do the work. Let them educate themselves and put them in our shoes. Maybe they will start to think critically about the world around them for a change.
