So atheism is more detrimental to the human species than say....... cancer, MS, Ebola, pandemics?

Good to know.

I looked over the links, and I'm experiencing "Poe myopia".. for the life of me, I can't tell if it's genuine or not. I guess that's the the whole premise of the poe phenomenon to begin with.

I guess I could look into the profiles of active members, but that would require logging in to Facebook. And, that's just too much to ask.

They clearly don't want to end atheism, or they'd do something other than pray. People who pray know better than people who don't how ineffective prayer is.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

This reminds me of a time I went to a Nichiren Buddhist meeting. I was instructed to concentrate on something I wanted, like a job, new car, affections of a woman... and via the chanting of "Nam myoho renge kyo" such things would be manifested.

The Nichirens are very unlike other Buddhists, who might reject a focus on materiality or contingency as being against the spirit of the Four Noble Truths. They are also a bit evangelical and culty.

So this woman spent a good half hour going over literature with me and telling me all about how to "manifest my desires." And she was really selling me up on it. At this point I was really regretting going to the meeting but (out of politeness, I didn't up and leave). An old couple I'd met talked me into going, and I was interested in Buddhism at the time. So I went.

Anyway, the cult leadership had determined that the topic for everyone to discuss that evening was "things not being manifested" and how to cope. After all the salesmanship practiced by the one woman at the start, she probably wanted to crawl under a rock when half the people there said that they couldn't manifest ANYTHING as of late.

Eww... I was down that rabbit hole for nearly 10 years (extricated myself circa 1997-1998 or so). That cult bears very little relationship to mainstream Buddhism - kind of like a prosperity-gospel group with "Jesus" scratched out and "Nichiren" written in in crayon.

Here's a meme from their page. So much derp.

1.The bible was fine with slavery and Christians were fine with slavery and you don't get points for ending the practice you did forever.

2.If racism is secular then please tell that to all the Confederates whose views on slavery and race came directly from their religion( but of course they got it wrong lol)

3.There are no Atheist regimes because you can't build a regime on disbelief. These regimes killed in the name of authoritarianism, not Atheism.

4.Please tell that to all the colonizers who used religion to justify their conquests and exploitations ( but of course they got it wrong lol)

5. Statistics, please

It's probably fake

I was touched by a pre-event test prayer. IT BURNS!

Wait, just the stove.
