…It’s already working on you.
You don’t have to worry, I’m not going over to the other side. Still, when it comes to the debate of ideas and philosophy, you should not use “because god says so” in support of your position. It is the weakest argument of all and if you’re trying to persuade someone of a different faith (or lack thereof) to agree with you, you could lose them right there.
The point that I’m trying to make is that atheist != evil or liberal. I probably agree with you on 90+% of concepts right off the bat. I’m just giving you a tip on winning friends and influencing people from the perspective of a dirty, unwashed heathen. I try to debate and convince liberals every day and I’ve been successful in a number of cases. I’ve never had to use god a single time to convince them. Good ideas are good ideas regardless of how dogma feels about them.
