No point
Well if the recent debate I was just in is anything to go by some atheists here are just as closed minded as any other group with pet beliefs.
Not once did any of them even address any of the mainstream philosophical points and just resorted to pet replies and name calling.
I'm not sure how we can overcome this?

:) As I said Sydni most people run with the herd, it is too much effort too think outside their box, so why should atheists be any different? Certainly even you must have come up against libertarian atheists who cannot accept that humans can have an adverse impact on the environment.
You maybe right though, it is nearly impossible to overcome those with closed minds. I've found it much easier to talk with moderate Pro-Choicers who are at least willing to go beyond street corner mantras.

If the Atman is Brahman and the Universe is nothing but Brahman that would appear to be saying that everything is only Brahman, thus inferring that nothing exists except Brahman, IMO.

But as someone in the Friendly Atheist forums pointed out, inappropriate listing or false information in this list could be used for libel charges. I think it would be fun to make a "Liberty Libel List."
Jean Marie,
You can genuinely give yourself a pat on the back for this posting. You have opened a lot of people's eyes to the "everybody knows" type of bullshit that passes for "wisdom" all too often.
Well done. Well done indeed! Now if we can al...
