Question
hi,
I have problems with christians. They really are not convinced by logical reasonings and evidence.
Many times I thought that I really have convinced them in some ways that the the bible is just a myth and christianity a setup. But they all seems immune to reasoning! I got some killer punch lines from www.infidelguy.com but it's useless. I've debated with them for years without progress. It seems like they really are infected by some sort of virsus that cannot be cured. Is there any ways to convince them?
Thanks.

Hello Ken,
I have to say that I got a good laugh out of your last line "It seems like they really are infected by some sort of virsus that cannot be cured." You're right, it does indeed seem like that. I think the actual problem is that they are, for the most part, brainwashed. I had often wondered about the same thing that you are until I came to realize that classic cult behavior techniques have been practiced by organized religion long before it was ever used by bald guys to sell flowers in airports. Just as in cults, you'll find that some of them will listen to reason and some will not. Myself, I will generally not waste my time on the ones that are too far gone. Anyway, thanks for writing and good luck, Bob
