Reason for converting Good Christians

[Ephrium]

Look, you got to practical. In this day and age, christianity is certainly declining but my point is there is no need to make it decline faster. In one swoop, these points of yours are made irrelevant"

Homosexual massacres
Non-virgin bride massacres
Sabbath issues
A contradictory law system
An uproar over whose misinterpretation of the bible should be accepted
The end of modern medicine (probably replaced by prayer)
Increase in demand for eye surgery (Jesus said to take your eye out if you look on a woman with lust... creepy)
Increased suicide rates (he also told people to drink poison to test their faith)
Landscaping issues (he also said if you pray for a mountain to move in his name, the mountain will move)
Okay now I'm just getting silly But these are serious issues in my opinion!"

You got to admit that Christianity wont advance back to what it once was .

And we should try to let it survive for as long as it can, for the very good point I have mentioned that it can and have caused many people to refrain from Crimes and misdeeds. This is but a fact.

To me, this is the biggest one:"1) Put it this way. And I am not talking about terrorists. There are many many people who have lead and are leading crime free, drug free lives BECAUSE they converted into Christianity from Atheism. Are there ANY drug dealers or criminals who have lead righteouss lives BECAUSE they converted from Chrstianity to Atheism?"

The same can be said for martial arts, sports teams or dancing lessons. All sorts of things can turn peoples lives around. This doesn't require talking snakes, water-walkers, wine-transformers, parting seas, magic trees or women made from ribs (or eternal damnation).

I'll do the cons then
Scientific regress
Intellectual regress
Homosexual massacres
Non-virgin bride massacres
Sabbath issues
A contradictory law system
An uproar over whose misinterpretation of the bible should be accepted
The end of modern medicine (probably replaced by prayer)
Increase in demand for eye surgery (Jesus said to take your eye out if you look on a woman with lust... creepy)
Increased suicide rates (he also told people to drink poison to test their faith)
Landscaping issues (he also said if you pray for a mountain to move in his name, the mountain will move)
Okay now I'm just getting silly But these are serious issues in my opinion!

Also,I have read "http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/rds/pdfs2/r188.pdf" . Nowhere does it state the % of religious convicts vs atheist ones.

Given that How logical natural selection seems to us, we have to admit too that it is logical that a believe in a God who will punish people for their misdeeds will only serve, in general, to a lower crime rate. This even we Atheists have to admit.
