Once you know it's false

It has been a while since I have written this list. I remain an atheist,
more strongly than before.

If people have an emotional need to be Christian I am willing to leave
them alone.

I continue to wonder if and when this list will become closed to
non-Christians.

That being said, is it possible to remain an evangelical once you have
been confronted with the other side of the story?

One need look no further than the mythology of Adam and Eve. Believable
until you hear the other side of the story.

My current perception of evangelicals is that they are ignorant, and
sometimes (hate to say it) intolerant.

It has amazed me, in my time on the internet, to see just how easy
it is to debunk the Adam and Eve story. Across the board, the standard
Christian response is to retreat into silence. Christian ideas shrink
from enlightened competition.

Unfortunately, evangelicals tip the balance of political power.

Does anyone on this list still believe Adam and Eve were real people?
Are you willing to discuss this?
