Many atheists appear dumber than they are simply by partaking in debates on the silliness of religion.

I don't think I've ever felt dumber when debating religion with a religious person (although I might have appeared dumber in their eyes, but who cares).

The most I can say, is that debating religion with religious people, often makes me very bored. It is akin to talking with someone who insists on telling you his dream from last night, with great and unnecessary detail. Very tedious, and quite annoying.

Imagine two people standing in front of a white wall. Person A comments that the wall is white. Person B says, "No it's not". Person A says, "Yes it is". Person B says, "No it's not".

Well, you get the idea.

I don't think it's a good analogy.
