Wikihow "how to convert an atheist"

Wikihow "how to convert an atheist"
Christian Wikihow authors have put together a strategy guide for converting atheists, with a bunch of cutesy pictures.  It actually offers some good advice, some of our theist preacher visitors should read through it before posting.  I find the general focus of the suggestions and warnings quite interesting though "don't debate the specifics of the Bible", "don't discuss Biblical fallacies", "don't talk about Eternal Punishment" - - just talk about how happy your faith has made you.  Tell them about the great people at your church.  Introduce them to church friends.   Rolleyes

Here are a few quotes - - I'll hide them, long posts are annoying.  




And a couple of really good warnings: 

"The family that prays together...is brainwashing their children."- Albert Einstein

How ironic.
Wikihow would not exist without the discoveries that science has made possible. I suppose the irony of that doesn't occur to these people.

Well, it's a much more reasonable approach than most. It seems to acknowledge its own shortcomings so much that I wonder if it's a parody!

I have a much quicker guide:

How to convert an atheist:

1) Give birth.
2) Indocrinate your child. Keep it as insulated as possible from the outside world, and for god's sake make sure they're programmed before the age of 7.
3) Congrats?

"Don't try and convert an atheist that is able to get away from you."

Seriously... has it ever happened? I can only picture it in the classic "using your recent tragedy to my advantage" scenario.

Nothing ever occurs to those people.

This seems to be how Chick Tracts go. In these tracts anyone who isn't a christian is either evil, or has never heard of Jesus at all. Because it's not like you can read the bible, and not convert immediately, without also being demon possessed or something.

How to convert an atheist: Don't bother. They likely know your belief system and 'holy' book better than you do.
