Atheists' Common Errors - Paperback

by Eric Bright (Author)

In a debate, you want to be heard and understood. You want your words to make a difference and change something for better, so you put forward your best-articulated thoughts. And then... you are not heard, nor are you understood. You leave the debate agitated, disappointed, and wondering if your words and sound arguments would ever make any difference. You promise yourself never again get into such debates. "Talking to a wall is more fruitful than this," you mumble. Rest assured, it happens again before you even notice.Why do many debates between believers and nonbelievers fail to bear any fruit either online or in person? Partly because debaters on both sides of the aisle are:

• impatient
• impolite and inconsiderate
• disorganized
• personally attacking

Atheist speakers, writers, commenters, and debaters often fall for these cheap traps. But, there are many more pitfalls in most interactions between believers and nonbelievers.This guide walks you through the most commonly made errors by atheist debaters and commentators. The rules, nevertheless, apply to anyone who wants to learn the art of successful debate.Do you know all the traps and how to avoid them? If not, then you need this book.
