No, I did not read through 53 pages of replies lol. I replied to the original post. Yes, they can change their mind over te course of 53 pages
Because if he was a sincere seeker he would not be an atheist. An agnostic or non theist would fit that description.
A person looking to learn would have said something along the lines of "hey I have all these questions please answer so I can learn" not, looking to debate to see if I am convinced. And the title says" Atheist" not sincere seeker.
The fact that you are simply looking to debate anyone about any religion proves you are not really here to debate. You are only here to try and be right and and "hear" (type) yourself speak, which is not the point of a debate
Yes
Yes, I like it. Can be better but, also can be worse so I focus on the positive, what I have rather than the negative and what I do not have
Yes

Yes and Yes.
Man this test was easy:D
I don't want anyone who is going to try and "force" me to do anything I disagree with after I have clearly and respectfully stated my views and positions on any subject. I am glad to discuss those issues further with them but, if their ultimate goal is solely for me to comply and abide by their...
Let me clarify what I mean by "forced". If I met Bruce Jenner and he said "its Kate and refer to me only as a female", he is trying or "forcing me" (you can replace force with any word you want) to act, behave or speak in a manner I disagree with. Just because he requested does not mean I need...
Would you mind being specific to a particular religion and scenario? Because such an over generalization really is nothing more than opinion that holds no weight, which is obvious by the constant "I believe". Adding specific details can help the readers understand where you are coming and engage...
Let me help you out and give you a fact instead of an opinion. The answer is a resounding NO because that is NOT the job of science. Anyone who thinks that science can do that has no idea what science is
Just to be clear, I do not think you have any ill intent. The reason for the question was, depending on your answer I can answer the "real" question you were trying to ask rather than the plethora of questions.
What part(s) are you unclear about? I can clarify. And what do you disagree with...
Let me ask you, what is your end goal here? Is there something particular you are searching for? I believe I have provided enough "justification" (not that I need it) as to why I have the stance I have while trying to be as fair as possible to both sides. While the end result isn't to the...
No, I would not because it goes against what I believe. I also don't see us continuing to be friends for much longer if he is going to try and force his new pronouns and lifestyle on me and expect me to go along with it. And I am sure he will feel the same way.
No, I would not because it goes...
Cool and that's your position and I am fine with it. Doesn't bother me however, instead of the ad hominem you could asked why how it affected me or my thoughts, if you truly cared. But, that's the main and constant theme I have noticed with people that feel the way you do is that they don't care...
