In several years of debating atheism and theism, We have made an
observation. Ask any believer what would convince him he was mistaken
and persuade him to leave his religion and become an atheist, and if
you get a response, it will almost invariably be, “Nothing Many
theists, by their own admission, structure their beliefs so that no
evidence could possibly disprove them. In short, they are
closed-minded, and have been taught to be closed-minded. In light of this, it is ironic that atheists are often accused of
being the closed-minded ones. Fundamentalist proselytizers very
frequently claim that we are hard-hearted, that we are dogmatic and
irrational, that we reject God based on preconceived bias, and so on.
Such claims result from psychological projection. Incapable of coping
with the fact that there are some people who genuinely do not believe
in their god, these theists simply deny that such people exist, and
instead insist that everyone thinks the same way they do. Therefore,
people who reach different conclusions than them must have some
secret ulterior motive for not believing. This is truly ridiculous,
but unfortunately, some people really believe it.
