How do you feel

[The Grand Nudger]

Exactly, burning witches brah! That's what Dyre and I are so geeked out about. The christian influence. You bring the witch I'll bring the tinder?

(I know, I know, not everyone's cup of tea, how about censure under pain of death for the crime of heresy?)

ill bring the tinder and a 12 pack. what Lek hates is that even though a nation can be predominately christian it doesn't make them a christian nation. When people say America is a christian nation its the total opposite because it isn't its secular whether anyone likes it or not.

But if God is on the decline, who will save us from Natural disasters..... oh wait, no one does anyway.
But who will feed the starving children in Africa ...... oh wait, no one does anyway.

Nevermind, I guess we'll just have to keep doing these things on our own.

You're right no one does, you were created to help those in need and you have failed miserably. Left to man's desire to help those that are starving around the world it want get done. The Church does more than atheist ever have for these people.
The Southern Baptist Disaster Relief, is the third largest in the world, preceded only by the Salvation Army and Red Cross. So you see Christians lead even above nations in disaster relief. God does care and moves through His people to help those in need.

Everyone is a better person than a christian and I`ll prove it to you:

Every little good thing I do, I do it because I think it would be a good thing for society. Christians only do it because some book tells them to...and out of fear.

Ah...and your god couldn`t give a flying fuck about people in need. If anything, he hits them harder, like Tahiti. Fuck your imaginary friend and his good deeds, nowhere to be seen.

Knowing that Christianity is on the decline world wide. Does it hurt or you just really don't care. I'm pretty happy, but how do you feel knowing people are stopping believing the mystical sky god of thunder. oh sorry i mean god.

It 'feels' like the cup of man's iniquity is about to over flow... Thus according to the book of revelation, triggering the events that will end the reign of man.

How does that 'feel?'

I don't know how it feels. I do know how it sounds though. Like a fairy tale.

Hi, I'm new to this site...I do not have the statistics but as the question is "How do you feel"...I do not feel that Christianity is declining considering the growth of the population on earth over the years since its inception and the fact that Christianity is still alive and kicking...but the way it is practiced has changed much. Its more exposed with a weak stronghold from the leaders. I feel Christians are sort of free to choose how to do their thing...and there are no clear distinctions anymore...you can't really tell at the workplace for instance if someone is a Christian or not unless he/she tells you. It was not like that before as most Christians would be in your face all the time before to make you change.

Religion is like a virus, if you don`t have immunity (education) you`re very prone to get it.

Sub-Saharan Africa is perfect for it to spread.

Exactly, I don't think anyone can seriously dispute that there are atheists and atheist groups that do good things for people, so which is the sign of the better person: the person who does good because he wants to or the person who does good because he is told he has to if he wants a heavenly scoobie-snack.

Now I don't necessarily think this means that all atheists are just naturally altruistic--there are lots of 'rewards' people get from doing good deeds. Whether public acknowledgement or simply the warm, fuzzy feelings of helping someone, every good deed is motivated by some desire for return on the investment. However, I don't think Christians can truly boast their deeds when their three main objectives are 1) get out of hell 2) get into heaven and 3) inculcate the masses.
