A Christmas story: Christians and atheists talk about values
Over the summer, I had a great conversation with an evangelical pastor about values that led to an experiment in trust.
A couple weeks ago, a group of us that have been kicking around some interfaith ideas decided to try this experiment. One of the things we talked about as a group was getting past some of the stereotypes that are thrown around so often about atheists and Christians.
From the Christian side, an example often heard is that Christians are “stupid” for believing in a God. From the atheist side, an example is that atheists are “immoral” because they don’t believe in God. There’s others, but you get the idea.
Our goal with this experiment was simply to see if we could use this exercise to help break down and get past these stereotypes and walls.
