I forgot to tell you my most excellent (and short) story.

Seriously, this post deserves a kudos from all the non-believers (also known as the intelligent and the logical).

I have been discussing the ins and outs, the history and the folklore, the lies and the bigger lies of Christianity (and other religions) to an acquaintance of mine for about 7 or 8 months. It was a long debate, but it was always a cordial and friendly debate (mostly), and he would often admit (almost daily) that he didn't have an answer for much of the contradictions and historical record I presented him about his bible.

Long story short ... yesterday he came to me and told me that he was no longer a christian.

AWESOME!

He's not a Deist, I never once tried to sell him on that. He simply said that he just couldn't overcome the mountain of evidence that his god had no more significance than any of the other ridiculous gods - that is to say, he wasn't becoming an atheist just yet, but he was definitely not a christian any longer.



I think that's pretty awesome. Strike one for the good guys. The evil that is christianity took one less victim. It's my first conversion and that was never even my intent. I felt so fantastic after he told me that shocking bit of awesome news. I was instrumental in helping a man I very easily could've ignored, remove his own blinders and start down a road to being enlightened.




He said much else if you're interested. Also, if you have helped destroy evil in this way, do let me know about it.

Why haven't you posted or even spoke of that 'mountain of evidence' the reconverted your 'friend' here?

Sweet!

Not as enthralling, but I convinced my wife to drop the ridiculous charade in calling herself a Southern Baptist, when what she is is a deist. Not a deconversion, per se, but a clarification.

Next up...my idiot boy who's wife is pussy whipping him into that same denomination. Bugger all.

Funny as that joke is Drich, this thread is not about hearing your filthy apologetics. This is about celebrating freedom and enlightenment. As my friends across the pond say, "Please kindly bugger off."

Asking for kudos is a sure fire way not to get them.

Didn't it make you feel kind of awesome to be instrumental in her decision? I kinda loved it. It felt like sweet revenge in the most positive non-harmful kind of way possible.

What's the matter you afraid that you mountain can't stand up against a little scrutiny?

Beside if you did not want to be challenged why did you post this in this section of the website? Isn't there a whole section of the website devoted to this form of self worship?

It's been done to death. Fools like you can't see it, Drippy.

I don't limit my self-worship to just any one portion of this website. Just as you worship your god everywhere, I worship myself openly in every available thread. Now if you're done with your piss-poor sarcasm, you can step off sheep, nobody wants to play with you here. Your shepherd's got a butt that always needs kissing anyway.

My point exactly. No matter what I post REpost for him to scrutinize, he's not going to see it. He's a filthy apologist - even his fello christards don't agree with him.
