kitewithfishHollywood Atheist
Atheists are somehow simply unaware of The Bible and Christianity, and will happily convert on the spot when informed of the rudiments of Christian dogma. Expect them in an Author Tract. (Despite the name this shows up as early as the book Hayy ibn Yaqzan, making this trope older than feudalism.)
Was this reference always there and I just now noticed it?? I swear to God (ha, irony there), that I've checked this page over before and it was indeed not there. In fact, it was edited in 17 November, and that means it is entirely possible that someone from my school added this. Because, hey, let's be fair, there are not a whole lot of people deal with Hayy ibn Yaqzan- the reprint of the most recent (and best) English translation only came out in September. This is not a highly debated text outside of a few rarified circles, which really, really raises the likelihood that someone I've met added this thing.
I will sit and watch and wait.
