if you put an un-knowing, unbiased person in a room...?

so basically if you took a person who does not have a religious preference, is unbiased in every way, and you had a christian preach to him their beliefs of life and god and humans, and then you had an atheist explain to him his/her beliefs, their evidence, and why they believe so, who do you think the person would be more likely to side with?

    Atheists.

    Cause someone unbiased would need Evidence to believe in something.

    The only 'evidence' religion has are a bunch of coincidences and their holy books.

    There are so many variables in this equation that makes it too hard to answer. Is the Christian a fire and brimstone preacher or a loving pastor? Is the Atheists a balls-to-the-wall goofball or a logical, soft spoken proponent.

    Will the preacher scare him with thoughts of the devil or tease him with thoughts of heavenly delights?

    Will the Atheist start calling the preacher Jerk, Dork, Goofus, or *ssh*ll or idiot...or would he be rational and pragmatic?

    It all depends on what is said to determine how it is received.

    Depends on which one is condemning that unbiased person for being unbiased.

    Which is more likely to be the Atheist, oddly enough.

    knowledge seeker; I agree with that sentiment.

    hi! good question. i'm a pupil (no longer professional) of Koine (pronouced Kee Nee by maximum, Coin-ay by some) Greek. I truly have a 365 days of this route from a Missionary Baptist seminary in Oklahoma. no longer in effortless words is the certain article to be seen, yet commonly in this language, there is not any "God" vs. "god" as in English. The capital letter probable signifying God Almighty vs the small case g bearing on a pretend god or different. Greek in effortless words capitalizes words like God on the starting up of a sentence. God isn't capitalized in any respect in John a million:a million nonetheless a particular variety of the Greek note for god (theon) is used with the certain article "ho" or "the" previously it. there is not any "indefinite article" in Greek (the English note "a"). So the literal rendering is that the note replaced into with ho theon (the god) and the note replaced into clean god. So what the note replaced into is in no way capitalized in Greek. that's continually "god" with decrease case letters in entire. Trinitarians and binitarians think no "a" could be there nonetheless considering "ho" or the is in position with the guy who the note replaced into with, the shortcoming of such shows the elect for "a" in from of what the note replaced into for this reason the note replaced into "a god". Trinitarians/biniarians rather make me elect to snort over this and different issues. also, the Bible shows in a large number of places that actual Christianity is a faith which couldn't conflict (Micah 4:a million-5, Matthew 5:38-40 8, Rom. 12:19-21 and far extra.) Jesus is God religions are between the most blood thirsty there is. they'll kill or enslave actually all people Caesar tells them to. And extra. they do no longer obey Jesus in any respect. Debbie Edited to characteristic: Many unitarian religions (Unitarian Universalists) believe Jesus is "divine" yet no longer almighty. they even believe ALL people are "divine" gods. that is what they imagine the purpose is to be equivalent to Mormons who believe all who bypass to the heaven the position God/Jesus stay are "gods".

  • The atheist. Because most Christians are terrible at convincing people of their faith.
