How to Convert People
September 19, 2013 at 7:03 pm
http://wikihow.com/Convert-People-to-a-New-Religion

Quote: In a world of increasing openness and globalism, people are reaching across boundaries and continents to renew or realign their personal beliefs. You may believe that your religion may serve people well and you wish to ensure you are able transmit your message across effectively. This may facilitate people to convert from one religion to another, to find a destiny that will be meaningful to themselves.

Yeah, that sounds accurate of any religion.

The game is called emotional Play-Doh.

Something tells me this guy wouldn't know intelligence even if the Borg assimilated him. A generic prosyltizing manual? Way to belittle your own preferred book of crazy, dumbass.

This isn't actually advice on how to convert people. This is really the litmus test for determining if you are a douchebag. By desiring so much to convert people to your religion and turning to wikihow to do it, you qualify.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

That's so much work, lol. Just because it's so hard to live with others who don't share your beliefs, really? How arrogant.

Does that mean that they've finally stopped using...

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

From the link: "If the target person or group is Agnostic, Atheist, Communist or Humanist". Love how communist is in that group Tongue
