Enlightened rants...

"Believers" are not a different race of creatures. Many believers were just like you: non believers.

How many people..like me...do you imagine come to faith, lol?  I can tell you how many, if you really want to know.  Precisely none.  People like me wouldn't come to the faith even if there were a god.  That door is closed.

Who said I'm trying to convert you in the first place?

Many of us do.  You know..both those presidents -lost- the pop vote, amigo. 

Bush won two terms and Trump kicked Hillary's ass!

Funny you should mention that..the people who voted for Bush and Trump are -also- pretty sure that homos and fornicators are destroying america.  That and immigrants.  And brown people.  And the poors.  And atheists.  Basically, anyone unlikely to have voted for Bush or Trump......with the exception of the poors, ofc. That's another use for oppressed people in america. Granting you the authority to oppress them.

The biggest pervs I saw in my life, were mostly the conservative religious type. I'm not bashing; but let's talk about child rapes carried on by priests. Or let's discuss the amounts of homophobic homos; who have a thing for butts but preach against it.

Usually; when a person lectures me about something, I assume a possibility that maybe he/she is doing what they preach me not to do.

I just told you that we don't...we count on a steady influx of immigrants. 

What if things changed to the advantage of places like China and Russia, and the west became "old news"; just like what happened to the Ottomans once? and westerners became the immigrants?

Yeah, it is.   Immigrants and the children of immigrants.  Pointing to one silly person who has a holy experience in Iran does not a trend make or account for.  Nor would I...if I wanted to present something to be proud of my religion for...point to Tony Blairs sister-in-law.  Aim higher, is all I'm suggesting.  You guys used to run what was left of the civilized world.  If you've been reduced to recruiting the sisters in law of dodgy politicians...it may be time to pack it in.

She doesn't need to be like her brother, I won't judge her reasons for converting until I hear her talk.
Not carrying the sins of her brother is all I say.
