Reblog of "Apologists say only men can reason their way into atheism"

I'm just reblogging the following article from FtB by Russell Glasser. I completely agree with Russell's assessment.

The Apologist's reply to The Friendly Atheist's story featuring Rachael Slick really got me raging. It represents a terrible strawman, a shameful and sexist attitude for the Christian response to take to a woman's personal story of conversion, which is as inspirational, intellectually based and as real and valid as any man's.

A "rebellious action from a confused creature". How dare they belittle Rachael's experiences, and claim to know her reasoning whilst failing to even ask for it .

Well said Russell.
