Would you vote for an Atheist?

[Rhyfelwyr]

OK from the beginning... you can't quote the bible like it is fact. Merely as one person is written down as saying something at some point in some versions does not make it a reliable document.

I was working with the axiom that the person listening would be a Christian, and accept the authority of the Bible (since Beskar was appealing on those grounds himself). If you work from that axiom, you can prove that certian ideas/doctrines/whatever are false from a Christian perspective.

You can believe whatever you like, the concepts of "belief" and "faith" exist outside of testable environments to the point that you do not have to prove anything to anyone in order to believe something. When you start demanding others to take your belief as the truth with no attempt or intent to present verifiable facts that back up your claim, that's where the situation gets a little tricky.

The question presented by this thread was simple, and infered a basic understanding of a hypothetical situation that I found fairly obvious. I answered the OP's question in regards to whether or not i'd vote for an atheist, not whether or not i'd vote for an extremist.

Not sure what you're saying here but I've no intention to force my beliefs on anybody, nor am I "demanding" anyone accept's them. All I did was say I would be more likely to vote for someone who shares my outlook on things, and then pointed out why Beskar's interpretation of the scripture was (IMO) wrong.
