Check out the Ideological Turing Test

Leah Libresco at Unequally Yoked is yet again hosting an Ideological Turing Test, in which participants try to show that they do understand their interlocutors' positions by writing articles pretending to espouse opinions they don't actually espouse, and voters try to distinguish between fakers and the genuine article. (Basically, it's an elaborate Insight vs. Bluff check.) As usual, this Turing Test is divided between Christians and atheists. If this interests you, I suggest you start here: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/unequallyyoked/2013/06/the-ideological-turing-test-freud-edition.html. And then here: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/unequallyyoked/2013/07/turing-2013-christian-entry-1.html.
