His tactics are completely without merit. However, it is my unfortunate observation that christians do not have a monopoly on such techniques. Calling people who have made no determination on whether there is a god, "atheist" does a disservice to the people involved and even the atheists who believe there is no god.Pvblivshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17931937272948538181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4921855125013712802.post-44271419348107963452008-07-09T07:26:00.000-07:002008-07-09T07:26:00.000-07:00A common tactic at Ray's is to define words on the...A common tactic at Ray's is to define words on their terms. Changing the meaning of athesist from "one who has no belief in god" to "one who must admit the possibility" puts the unbeliever back in their territory. Now they have a wedge to use their arguments on you. Similarly, if they can get you to admit you have "faith" and you "worship" they can lead you to the next step which is to switch god for science and -vola!- they've got a new convert. The goal is to bring you down to their level by any means available.Milohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12910886626220609245noreply@blogger.com
