Ya know, the church would have probably kept me around longer if they would have started throwing 13 to 17 year old "church approved" sluts at me (there were some but had no interest in me). I would have at least feigned belief for awhile anyway. But eventually that would have worn off and I'd still end up being me. Maybe slightly diseased, but essentially me.

How to convert an atheist:

Step 1: Make atheism illegal in your country. Make sure that it is punishable by death to deny the divinity of Christ your savior.
Step 2: Make sure other religions are punished too. They might switch to churches they consider more reasonable like Satanism.
Step 3: Be sure that laws in your country are passed according to the holy book, the bible.
Step 4: Make sure Gay Marriage gets re-banned
Step 5: Congratulations! You have now converted Atheists from American to Canadian. You now have the Christian Iran you've wanted so bad. If there were a hell, you would belong in it.

1. Nope there will still be atheists. Lately in the middle east more and more people are turning atheist. 

2. Look at my first statement they would just "convert" but eventually will loose their faith turning into atheists

3. The middle east did it and they are  a hell hole. 

4. Eh i could see it happening not in the US anyways. 

5. Pretty sure people would over throw a tyrannical theocracy as soon as people are like we can't eat a fucking lobster
or crab people would be in general upset with such biblical laws.

How to convert an atheist?

1. Get down on your knees and suck it.

I'm not saying it will necessarily work, but this strategy has better chances of success, than anything W.L.Craig or Deepak Chopra ever used their mouths for. And even if it fails - everyone involved will have had a much better time, than they would exchanging condescending platitudes and empty threats...

It's Christian science. See how they disavow a book on first aid:

I actually think preaching to people when they're not in a vulnerable position is actually more likely to push them in the direction of atheism (or at least irreligion). It tends to be an overt display of the total lack of grounding, logic and evidence. Of course, having someone surrounded and using massive peer pressure makes them vulnerable too.

On this forum, even when people are vulnerable and a theist smells blood, I've observed that it still hurts their cause. The desperation on show, and the flawed logic presented to someone who has probably just started properly thinking for themself makes the religion they just left look that bit more ridiculous.

Conversion blow jobs.. huh....

How to ignore a 14 billion year old universe with 100s of billions of galaxies not giving one fuck about the fantasies humans invent for false comfort.

I'm not sure if guttural throaty sounds of unk, slurp, unk,unk is considered conversation. I'm sure that at one point I'd hear "try not to mess up my hair".

I meant that as a reply to homlessnutter but yeah you got my point though.
