I couldn't agree with this point more, and I clarify my thoughts on the following. |
I am atheist. I am not similar to Christians in that I close my mind off to other possibilities.
They have read the material and accepted it whereas I have read the material and refused it. I have not 'closed off' my mind, I have made an open minded decision. The irrationality could be accepting the implausible material.
As an atheist, I do not believe strongly that religious people are wrong. I simply do not care what other people believe, disimiliar to Christians in that they care that I do not believe.
Thinking about it, I know many several Christians that don't care that I don't care. I think everyone just needs to chill out about the whole religion deal.
