There are a lot of issues in this that I'd like to talk about, but recently, I found an article that demonstrates a number of them quite excellently.
So I'll link to it here:
http://www.cracked.com/article_15759_10-things-christians-atheists-can-and-must-agree-on.html
Now, I'd like for you to read the article and tell me what you think about it.
If you disagree with some or ALL aspects of it, please tell me why.
When that's done, I'm thinking we could move the discussion to being about some of the mechanisms at play that the author talks about, such as exaggerating about the other side, focusing on negative examples, and well, then doing the standard stuff like confirmation bias and TMF.
So what do you say?
