Because you can tell a believer, That the Bible says that the Earth is flat, and that it has lots of scientific flaws, and they begin to question their faith.
Because you can tell a believer, That being born and raised in a church lifestyle, does not give you a chance to question your faith, and to instead be brainwashed, and they begin to question their faith.
Because you can tell a believer, That evolution and the big bang is a logical theory as to how the world came to be, and that evolution and creationism are incompatible, and they begin to question their faith.
Because you can tell a believer, There is no proof that God exists, and they begin to question their faith.
Because you can tell a believer, That people could have made religion because they were scared of death, and that the only people who try to convert people are scared of death, and they begin to question their faith.
Because you can tell a believer, That some major religions operating worldwide are cults, as a way of controlling people, which can be traced back in their holy book or history, and they begin to question their faith.
Try telling an athiest everything I've said in bold, and it justifies their reason to be an athiest. Religion is sadly flawed. It would be nice if the world had just one religion, and that we could have proof of an afterlife. But sadly that isn't true. Atheists aren't atheists because they only believe in what they see. They are atheists because they want to believe in God, but can't because they realise the truth, that religion is flawed.
What's an assertion, and what should I type in?
Compesh is a question and answer (and debate) website, so before you make a debate, you better learn what an assertion is. I suppose you already know what a question is, and that you've typed it in the box. ;)
An assertion, is basically a statement you can make, that is either true or false.
Richer people have better health.
The question for that would be, Do richer people have better health?
And don't forget to make your assertion, match your question.
