Ninjaturtle,
Yes, I am an atheist. I think that is why the meeting was so frustrating and different than normal. I suspect that most of these apostate meetings dwell more upon doctrinal or policy issues, whereas my meeting had to do more with providing evidence for belief. If they could have just provided some good evidence then I wouldn't have doubts in the first place. To me I think it's amazing how they just write people off and destroy families because a person cannot accept certain things on faith, but requires evidence and reason.
I told them at the end that their position is pretty scary when instead of refuting opposing views, their only defense really is to silence them. Obviously their beliefs are based on shakey ground if they cannot defend them using reason and evidence.
