yeah whatever, a likely excuse. So, remind me, or maybe you didn’t mention it, but how much time do you dedicate to studying religion and what sources have you used in coming to your present conclusions? In answer to this question, consider your current PROFESSION (if you have one or a hobby you’re good at) and how much time you dedicate to that profession or hobby – how does that amount of time compare to the time you dedicate to studying religion? |
What in the world does that have to do with anything. I've been studying religion off and on for most of my life. Mostly just when it comes up in debates, but there was a lengthy time when I was in school where we'd debate religion pretty much every day between law class and debate club. I was in a very religious community and Felt that it was my place to basically tell them to knock it off and let me be atheist, and they wouldn't leave me be. so through the later years of public school and all of high school I was outed as a minority for not believing in God and my parents nearly disowned me. I would be a fool to not take the time to explain religion.
Plus my ex was a brilliant person, and she was huuuge into religion, she pushed me farther into the depths of madness for not believing in God for over a year before we finally broke it off. I spent like 7 years of my life in a constant debate with religious types on all sides. I guarantee there's nothing you can possibly bring up at this point that I haven't already heard, considered, and factored into my argument. I haven't done much in the way of research over the last 4-5 years or so, but I haven't needed to since nobody's presented me with new information.
