It is very easy to argue. It is convincing the other person that is difficult (impossible)- since in the end the only person who can really convince us, is us.

Don't you find it difficult(impossible) to argue religion with a true believer?

It's no harder than arguing anything else with a true believer. Feminsm, racial equality, homosexual rights, and on and on. In every case, arguing these issues with true believers on either hand is virtually impossible.

BTW, since SR is a true believer in atheism, it's just as hard for others to argue religion with him as for him to argue religion with others. He will claim to be open minded, but if you follow him for a while it's clear that he isn't. His prejudices are every bit as fixed as Greg's, just different.
