Tell them about YouTube. They might go and have a look when they're all alone.

Welcome back!

@wimsweden hi bro. The line from A Few Good Men comes to mind "You can't handle the truth!" ;-)

[wwwATHEISTATOMcom]

Good to see you back. I had a productive discussion with 2 cute mormon girls who came knocking. I responded right away with the lack of evidence. I've never seen that result in a wall. Usually they bring up their book, and then we can talk about why it's no more evidence than "Cat in the Hat". I've found that if I have a pleasant demeanor and ask questions about their religion, they can't justify shutting down the conversation...and so it continues, and I get many "seeds of doubt" in their minds

@wwwATHEISTATOMcom you an asset to "our team"!  :)

Don't videotape and drive. Its not save. Save that for the crazy people like jezuzfreak777.

[LazySundayClub]

Ah, "The Wall." I know it well. I ran into that sucker hard a few years back (my fault). It needn't have ended the friendship like it did (my fault) but it definitely ended the conversation. If only I'd seen a couple of years of youtube before attempting my spiel.

It's so strange that Christianists approach total strangers and proselytize, by inviting them to church, etc. It's not like atheists and agnostics walk up to strangers and invite them to drop by their agnostic discussion groups, conferences or rallies. (Well, not that there even are that many, actually...but still.) Weird. And rather insulting.

[MrDelusionalPenguin]

Now thats a true atheist! So fearless of death hes talking to himself looking down at his feet and Driving!!!

Planting a seed of doubt is all we can do and it is powerfull!! More often than not it will be the first time that they have ever even heard an opposing opinion. I like to ask people if they believe in god. When they say yes I ask them why??Most people just return with a blank stare. They have no idea why they believe.

I actually have told a Christian womens outreach donation collector at walmart that Jesus Christ was a myth and all religion is superstition. She had a bewildered look on her face and I almost felt bad for her but I figure it's not my fault people have been suckered by con artist theologians.I don't hesitate to say the truth no matter how hurtful it is.

@mrsalmon1984 Where did i put words in your mouth (honestly confused here)...

[sugelanren]

@mrsalmon1984 Boomshanka ( May the seeds of your loins be fruitful in the belly of your woman)... for comedic relevance go to /watch?v=QJLojFJeXmg

I know there is a lot of legitimate ire with christians in America, i just don't get it really...you have to be there i guess. Peace out. Huck

[mrsalmon1984]

@sugelanren My stance is still the same. I don't blame ALL Christians and please don't put words in my mouth. I blame the insanely zealous, bible thumping Christians. I do blame the government too because they are without integrity by accepting campaign bribes from lobbyists. America needs an enema! :-)

[mrsalmon1984]

@sugelanren You are right. My problem is with the government, but if you lived in redneck hell (I'm in Oklahoma) you would see that religion controls our political system. You were right, but I don't think you saw the connection I was trying to make... Christian groups lobby our politicians so they can get their "Christian morals" made into laws. Granted I should have elaborated more. Peace my friend :-)

@Nardypants I did mean some. There are dicks of all ilk, i don't see the point in vilifying a group because of their radical elements...where would we be if we all thought that way (rhetorical) :)
