I certainly expect more from someone who trots out her position as a college professor at every opportunity. She also says she is half Hispanic, which strongly contrasts with the bigotry shown to my friend.

I wrongly assumed that her recommended reading, Mere Christianity, was a book of Christian apologetics. So I checked it out. It is, in fact, a self-help book on relationships and morality from the Christian perspective. I didn't see any content that would persuade me to abandon my atheism. Sadly, I'm guessing she hadn't read it either, and made the same assumption I did. Either she had very bad judgement or felt so desperate to rebuff my insult against Christianity that she pretended to know what she was talking about. Pretty much the epitome of semi-white privileged Karen.

@racocn8 sounds like finding out her grade-point average during achievement of her lofty standing might be a fun project....or could she maybe be one of those "phony credential" people? Something seems Very fishy!

She did not say how she visualized herself as a skeptic. I will guess that she figured skepticism to be included within Critical Thinking. I agree with your assessment that her continued participation would degrade our future discussions as it did this one. Our group should be well past giving Christianity any credence. Dealing with a true believer is a waste of time.
