Greetings fellow atheists,
I read something interesting the other day on the backfire effect. I am sure many times you may have try using facts to convince others on your views on religion, politics, best sports team, etc. Don't you find it surprising that the people you try to persuade, ends up holding their original views more strongly than before?
This is a link to the article:

What do you guys think about this? I am interested in hearing what others thing on this matter.
In case this has been brought up here at atheist republic, I apologize. I am new here.
Thanks in advance for participating.
