My nigga Dostoyevsky destroyed atheism back in the 19th century. TBK, C&P and Demons are enough to do the job.

I tried giving him TBK but he just couldn't do it. Literally couldn't deal with Alyosha or any part vaguely positive about Christianity. I'm not Catholic myself, him and I both agree the Bible is a work of fiction, but this hate boner is insane. I think the trick might be something not immediately obvious to be Christianity.

depends what his reading level + interest in the topic is
Orthodoxy by Chesterton?
The Last Superstition by Feser is rather polemical but if he's a Dawkins-tier atheist it would be a good antidote to that

if he can handle it and cares enough, Edward Feser's Aquinas or Introduction to Christianity by Ratzinger - probably need to take notes with these honeslty, pretty dense
For the whole "wtf i hate catholic sex doctrine" try Love and Responsibility by John Paul II, or if polemics + personal experience would be more convincing try "Gay and Catholic" by Eve Tushnet

Only a fool ignorant of epistemology deals in absolute certainties.

Only a fool ignorant of epistemology deals in absolute uncertainties

The Bible is not fiction gtfo

Sounds like this guy is a retard. I would honestly stop caring about the whole thing and just wait this phase out.

Uncertainty is obviously inherently absolute as it is a lack of knowledge about (something) being x or being y. But nice try.

>>9271245
Are you absolutely sure about that

>>9271189
Is this an absolute certainty?
