Get Them While They're Young

"Get them while they're young." This is the unspoken (and not so unspoken) mission of churches everywhere.

They understand how critical it is to gain converts before they become adults...before they're exposed to science, history, other religions and other points of view. They aggressively target children and youth with marketing campaigns that rival many advertising companies. They sponsor events, activities, games and lots of free food for the opportunity to influence impressionable minds.

Chris, Andrea, Matt and Dell share their own experiences as children and adults from inside these programs.

@whiteliketar You know what? I'm done with you. You're just like every other christian, I try to reason with you but all you do is stick your fingers in your ears and sing about your friend who doesn't even exist. It's quite sad really. You do realise that most prisoners in the world are religious and that the countries that are most developed and free also have the most atheists? You do realise that 80% of charities are run by atheists? But of course you won't listen because you are pathetic.

@y2cow4me How can atheism be considered a source of evil? If Atheists are evil, does that mean that believing in a religion means that you are incapable of doing bad things? Belief often has little to do with whether a person is "evil" or "good". Evil is possible among all human beings. It is when feelings of greed, anger, jealousy and other emotions are taken to far and people make bad decisions while feeling these emotions that "evil" takes place.

@isk8baker32 May I ask, if you don't believe in God, and you believe in Atheism, then what is the cause of all the evil in this world from your point of view? If Atheism is the truth, is it therefore the cause of all evil?

@isk8baker32 I made the decision. Of course this could not have been without the help of God. It had very little, if not nothing to do with my parents.

[isk8baker32]

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence comet evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?

@y2cow4me You didn't make a decision to follow Christ, your parents did for you. For if you weren't brainwashed since birth to think that there were even a Christ, you would be an atheist.

@CursedZebra sorry to disappoint you -I am happy and enthusiastic about life and the sciences that shows the signature of the Creator. atheist propaganda abounds on the internet but are weak in their ability to persuade. your problem is a moral one - you want no accountability for your sinful choices - admit it - this is the dark little secret of most atheists - most are involved in some sort of messed up morality that they don't want to let go - your world view is weak, wobbly and hopeless.
