Dr. Donald Whitaker - Ex Atheist

[Esquilax]

no its about saving souls and spreading the good news of Jesus Christ

Then there's something you need to know, so listen close: you are doing it wrong. There is no possible worse way to go about that stated goal; you're actually achieving the reverse of what you "want" to happen. If your actual goal is what you say here, then you need to stop what you've been doing in these threads right now before you cause more damage.

There is a right way to go about this, though! You just need to understand that you're talking to people and not a homogeneous mass of atheist cartoon characters your pastor drew for you in sermon. We're real live human beings who value things, not the opposing number in a Chick Tract who've just plumb never heard of this Jaysus fella before! You want to save our souls? You really, really have that as your goal in coming here? Then you need to drop the stuff that clearly isn't working and find something actually effective, which will not be found within the pages of your bible. It will be found in reliable, falsifiable, testable reality. You'll convince us on our terms: demanding that we lower ourselves to your presuppositions is not going to work. You do want it to work, right?

Also? Maybe at least give us the respect of knowing what our positions are before you scoff at them, which would require dropping the insulting "you all think we came from bananas and rocks!" crap right now.
