Need a bit of help on an essay. . .

Need a bit of help on an essay. . .
First off, hi again. It's been a while since I posted. Second, I'm in a bit of a pickle. I'm writing a paper about atheism for my college English 102 class, and I need specific fundy arguments that I can quote.
I'm especially looking for. . .

Religious people wondering why atheists can't just all become Christian to make life easier.

Theists saying that atheists cause harm. (Degrading society's mores, causing crime, killing people by not praying, causing natural disasters, etc.)

Theists employing arguments from popularity.

You don't need to avoid bat-shittery or profanity. Adds to character. Cool Shades The more official/well known the source is, the better. However, anything would be fine.
If anyone can help me out, it'd be much appreciated.

Also, I am not pretending to be female, this profile picture is my wonderful girlfriend. XD

I just wanted to say thank you for not posting a questionnaire. We've been battered with those this week.

What is with people doing assignments on atheism? It's not even that interesting...

No it, isn't, but a Muslim I know is doing one on why the Niqab should be legal in France. I was actually open to it at first, but after reading their ten page, self-loathing rant on why skin is bad, the French hate women, and wearing a Niqab is optional even though Islam commands it under pain of death, I feel I need to inject some sanity into the situation. I went into their persuasive thingy thinking that the Niqab should be legal, and left it quite sure that the French made the right choice by banning it. I don't think that's a very effective paper.

Here is one...they steal Christmas decorations or otherwise steal or deface objects with religious identity. These are probably immature teenagers with nothing better to do...the same that would otherwise tag public property. What might be considered odd is I am not aware of a person of color doing something like this...

Now on harm, atheism itself is not harmful. What is harmful are atheists who become anti-religious to the point it becomes a destructive habit, both self and outwardly...the outwardly was ugliest under Communist rule, but that had more to do with the elite trying to assert full control over the populace than it had to do with a concept of atheism.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

Well, I see I'm not going to be able to find any usable (terrible) quotes from you. Wink

Yeah - polecat thinks Stalin was a miserable bastard because he was an atheist...not because he was a communist.

But you know theists.....facts are a real problem for them.
