You must be against atheist propaganda too seeing you don't care whether people think like us or even know that we exist. So you oppose atheist banners on buses? If you aren't against atheist propaganda, you're contradicting yourself in your response to me.(June 15, 2010 at 12:34 am)The_Flying_Skeptic Wrote:(June 14, 2010 at 7:44 pm)bozo Wrote: I think that if it were possible to debate the issue of god/no god with every single person on the planet...we would be in the big majority.
like i said on another thread, we need to get on bikes and knock on doors with brochures. someone suggested we carry out our propaganda while shirtless (if we have six packs). I believe a significant amount of people don't even know that 'atheism' is an option. Out of about 50 people that I presented atheism to in person, 5 of those people became atheists eventually. if we can let people know that we don't eat babies, and we can carry out a conversation with them being polite and respectful...
Here's a thought - stop trying to convert people. Why is it important that everyone think the way you do?
