kristi, i'm curious--
what if my reasons for not believing in "everyone else's gods" *don't* turn out to be the same as your reasons for not believing in mine? are you *sure* that they're completely, or at least substantially, the same reasons?
I don't see a problem with anyones 'reasons' for not believing being different. I have my reasons for not believing in any god and other atheists have their reasons, which I'm sure are not completely the same as my own in all instances.
for that matter, are you sure that my reasons for believing in God are the same as those of your relatives?
Of course not, I can't speak for any of my relatives and their reasons for believing what they believe, or anyone else for that matter.
also, if their reasons for not believing in other religions are poorly-reasoned and fallacy-ridden, will you still claim that their reasons are basically the same as your reasons?
No, I never claimed that my reasoning is the same as anyone elses. Believers or non believers included.
My honest opinion is believers in god have 'poorly-reasoned' arguments concerning their beliefs. No matter what the argument.
-----------------------
You asked the wrong questions, and the imaginary Catholic guy answered incorrectly.
The Catholic Church recognizes in other religions that search, among shadows and images, for the God who is unknown yet near since he gives life and breath and all things and wants all men to be saved. Thus, the Church considers all goodness and truth found in these religions as "a preparation for the Gospel and given by him who enlightens all men that they may at length have life."
The catholic church might recognize other religions but I asked the guy if he believed these 'other' gods and religions to be false. Wouldn't any catholic say yes to that question? If you believe the bible to be true you must think the koran false right?
One of the ten commandments is 'do not have other gods before me'. So, as a catholic i'm sure you don't 'believe' in these other gods or religions.
The point of the fake conversation was to get someone that is a believer in one certain god to see that i'm not a terrible person because I am an atheist and don't believe in any god. I am the same as him when it comes to 'other gods' believed in around the globe.
You missed the point.
