Second thoughts can generally be amended with judicious action; injudicious actions can seldom be recovered with second thoughts.

Sigh.
I had a moment. LOL!
If someone believes in Christianity leave them be.
If they try to convert you... let them know you aren't interested without insulting them.
If you happen to come across a Christian who isn't Christian-Like... stay away from them.
There we go.

religious people have no business trying to convert people. they have done atrocious things in the world and the least they could do is be humble.

Oh no. If someone comes to my house, unasked, and tries to convert me/my family to their religion, then its open season on them hearing all about the benefits of atheism & the problems with religion. Like I said, I keep brochures for it now. Originally Posted by CocoChanel

Do you have a brochure that says "The Truth" on the cover and is blank on the inside?

LOL. That level of intelligence is too subtle for most of the folk that come to our door. Originally Posted by Gigabitch

I think you're actually way more liberal than I am, Miso. That's a compliment, btw.

Christianity was imposed upon people to create hierarchy and control --> ie the Vatican.
People were executed for heresy.....not believing, or in any way acting against the church's authority. This included rulers of nations. At one point, in many places, everyone was Christian because you HAD to be, and voicing an alternate opinion meant death or ostracism. Belief equalled survival.
More people are moving away from religion because we have a choice. We can assert our personal beliefs without fear of retribution. Some people have not lifted the blanket of fear that's carried over from religion's days of dominance, but people are creeping out slowly and opening their eyes.Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever. - Mohandas Gandhi
