the way i see it, other atheists and i are the small but correct minority, kind of like those who opposed slavery and those who said the earth is round back in the day, or non-jewish germans who were against the holocaust during ww2. george orwell said "man is infinitely malleable". he illustrated his point in the book 1984 when o'brien tried to convince winston gravity didn't exist. think about it, gravity is the most obvious, undeniable thing there is; you drop something, it falls. you drop it 578 quadrillion times, it will fall 578 quadrillion times. but... imagine that every (and i mean every single one, black, white, young, old, rich, poor, sane, crazy, hot, ugly, healthy, sick, male, female, your friends, your enemies, me, the news, textbooks, scientists, preachers, politicians) told you gravity did not exist. how could you hold on to that belief?
