[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish all atheists would learn street epistemology. It's extremely effective at getting people to question their own beliefs, and it's based in neuroscience as far as how it does that. Look up Anthony Magnabosco on Youtube. [/quote]

Please tell us about street epistemology.  Do you think that if atheists could understand it, they would become believers?

As an atheist, I don't have beliefs.  I have knowledge.[/quote]

No...sorry my post was confusing and incomplete. I, myself, am an atheist. I think atheists should understand the concept of street epistemology in order to help believers question THEIR beliefs.  Epistemology uses the Socratic method of questioning in order to engage the thinking part of the brain, thus shutting down the amygdala, which is where most believers "believe" from, and thus argue from.   This has caused many many people to question, and thus leave, their "faith". It is also highly ethical.
