I have a much quicker guide:
How to convert an atheist:
1) Give birth.
2) Indocrinate your child. Keep it as insulated as possible from the outside world, and for god's sake make sure they're programmed before the age of 7.
3) Congrats?
I'm thinking the same thing. This is clearly a parody. Or else, it was written by an atheist. In any case, this article, if the OP's distillation of it is to be trusted, is far more likely to deconvert than convert.
I did give you the link, EP. Instead of questioning my motives and intelligence, you could take a look yourself. That is, if you find such things vaguely interesting. I could be wrong, but I thought the article was legit. I also thought that all the warnings hidden in it, (I quoted a few), were interesting, and that someone here might like to see it. That's why I posted it. Sure, it could be a parody. I don't think so, however.
