RE: Atheist Becomes Catholic
Shes doing it for the money, imagine how much people like Ray Comfort will pay to discredit atheism. She's gunna get a book out, maybe a tv show. However, if this is not the case, i would argue that she either wasn't an atheist or was an atheist but for the wrong reasons. I couldn't be bothered to read the whole article.
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House

“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom

"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech

Yeah, I rememer that. When an atheist becomes a theist, it's news. When a theist becomes an atheist, it's a day ending in '-day'.

'The difference between a Miracle and a Fact is exactly the difference between a mermaid and seal. It could not be expressed better.'
-- Samuel "Mark Twain" Clemens

"I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the scriptures, but with experiments, demonstrations, and observations".

- Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else! "

- Dr. Donald Prothero

Sadly for your bank account, your experience is far too common to make hay from, let alone money...but turn back into a Catholic and you could be a rock star!

I decided you fucking catholics were full of shit when I was 11. And that was long before I found out you were molesting children and having the brass cover it up.

Now....I regard anyone who remains a catholic as a child-molester, too. Have you no shame, sir?

One person out of billions converts. Why is this thread worthy?

In any case, from the link: 'after years of debating many “smart Christians"'. Wonder if we could get some of them to join here?

And this is a year old, so it's not even news.

Max, do us all a favor, go die in a fire.
