Quite.
Problem is that there are so fucking many of those morons! And procreating like lemmings. Fertile soil to seed BS in.
Education, information and 'evangelization' (on real facts, their relationships and effects) are the only way, in the long run, to meaningfully, and enduringly reduce that number, imo.
So, really, what are we doing here? Preaching to the converted!
You can say a lot about the Xtian church, but with their 1,700 years of experience they are of course the authority in the art of organizing, executing, and exploiting the concept of "the mission" (as in 'missionaries'). The "fishing for souls".
If the opposition ever wants to be effective it will have to take a leaf from that book too and learn how to organize, execute, and exploit their own "mission".
The "mission of faith" needs to be battled by a "mission of reason and empathy".
Yeah, right!
