And the interesting part of the “Ask God” crowd is they think the Christian God is the only one around. In current times, there’s a plethora of creator gods from one edge of the world to the other, all with an equal chance of being the “real” creator of the universe. That excludes the thousands of previous, and forgotten masters of the universe.
Surefire conversation killer. Tell a theist that if they were born in China 500 years ago they’d think all Christians were full of crap, and by their own criteria, odds are that their China self would be burning in Christian Hell as we speak.
THAT is the mentality. Deep down, each religious person seems to be pretty certain that they have been placed in the right place to learn the right religion, because they are one of God's favorites. There's a mighty egotism in that, and it explains why they are so fervent.
I actually had a couple women on another thread commenting to each other that I was an atheist because God didn't want me to know Him, and had thus not "opened my heart" the way He'd opened theirs. This is borderline mental illness. (And I'm not so sure about the "borderline" part.)
And then there’s the ones who think all school teachers are out to murder them.
