The End Game of Atheism

[Fidel_Castronaut]

Present me with someone who is born with a concept of God and, when presented with the concept that no God exists proceeds to accept it as trustworthy, thus following the areligion of the person that was presented to him/her. In other words, if religion is a brainwashing process then Atheism is also.

Let's get this straight. You mean to say that children are born with the concept of god. And if one encounters one of these children one should then bring them to your church and let them learn of your god. Why don't you ask the child what is god like? Since she already knows. What if she has a concept of a god but it's different from jesus? Do you then bring her to all the religious places and help her identify which religion she's meant to be in? Or allow her to start her own? I don't understand. Because clearly you're saying telling a child she doesn't have an imaginary friend is brainwashing, but telling her her imaginary friend is the same as yours, and that he speaks to you, is not.

I was never born with a concept of god.

The local demographic of the area I was born in indicates that, if I were, I should have been born with a foreknowledge of either the christian god, Jewish god or the Islamic god (East London) [of varying sects of all religions]. As it happens I've never once had any sort of a belief in any of them [or any god], throwing that theory out of the window.

But I don't want to derail this thread, it's crazy enough as it is.
