Can We Talk?
Let’s suppose we could put our differences aside for a little while and just have a productive conversation together, what should Atheists and Christians talk about?
Let’s put our differences aside and talk about ways we can work together for the common good of society.
We want to avoid the usual suspects: Does God Exist? etc… Instead, let’s talk about ways we can work together for the common good of society. Let’s talk about what we have in common. Let’s talk about…(your turn to fill in the blank). Or if you would rather see us DO something together instead of talk, share your thoughts on that too using the comment area below.
Here are some things that come to my mind that I would like to talk about: How we can guard the poor from exploitation by the rich How we can protect the powerless from oppression by the powerful How we can educate children and illiterate adults How we can promote mutual respect among people of all cultures How we can provide opportunities for creative expression of emotions How we can support the advancement of knowledge
How about we start by talking about the incredible amount of damage Christianity has done to the world. That seems like a good place to start.
