And hits a nerve to this day. Almost every atheist I have met as a student in my classes or as a fellow academic has (when you really really get to know them) some very deep seated anger towards their father. Quite frankly, this signature/red flag/indicator is without doubt the most reliable constant in predicting strong atheism. Now of course, every atheist within miles will fall all over themselves telling us how great their relationship was with their fathers! academic hint: they arent being completely truthful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
