Title: Christians Try Atheism for a Day
Post by: curiosityandthecat on August 18, 2009, 09:59:43 PM
Just came across this post. A Christian couple wore nametags identifying themselves as part of an atheist group while at the Creationism Museum and talk about their experience.

Quote… While I did not have a T-shirt (a symbol anyway) it was obvious that there was a distinctive way that we were being treated because of the shared identification. There were hateful glances, exaggerated perceptions, waxing surveillance by security, and anxious but strong ‘amens’ accompanying a lecture on “The Ultimate Proof of Creation” by Dr. Jason Lisle.

What? You mean fundamentalist creationist Christians aren't understanding and open when it comes to atheism?

I give them credit for trying this experiment and being open to see what it's like to be in that position.

I read some more of the OPs blog. He is exacttly the kind of Christian you can have a conversation with without him constantly throughing out the empty refer to scripture to prove scripture ploy so commone among creationists. I would love to be able to have a conversation with him. He seems like a remarkable well rounded, open minded, person who is comfortable with what he belives and has actually though about it for himeself. Man I'd love to have a first hand converation with him the number of theists I'e met who fit the bill are under 5 total. A rare breed and the only theists I genuinely respect thier beliefs.

Curio thank you great find.
