re: #652 Daniel Ballard

I have met a person like that, but the point may be semantic. What should we call it when atheists promote their view over other views?

I’m sorry, this doesn’t seem to have anything to do with my post. I was saying I don’t think advocacy of atheism actually ever converts anyone to atheism.

Perhaps another word would do, but the mission is the same-Convince others to think as you do.

Well, there you’re making a serious fallacy. If someone evangelizes to believe that gays are evil because god made them that way, that’s seriously different than trying to convince people that everyone should have equal rights. The difference between trying to convince someone of something irrational and something rational is huge.
