Ya know, the church would have probably kept me around longer if they would have started throwing 13 to 17 year old "church approved" sluts at me (there were some but had no interest in me). I would have at least feigned belief for awhile anyway. But eventually that would have worn off and I'd still end up being me. Maybe slightly diseased, but essentially me.

How to convert an atheist:
Step 1: Make atheism illegal in your country. Make sure that it is punishable by death to deny the divinity of Christ your savior.
Step 2: Make sure other religions are punished too. They might switch to churches they consider more reasonable like Satanism.
Step 3: Be sure that laws in your country are passed according to the holy book, the bible.
Step 4: Make sure Gay Marriage gets re-banned
Step 5: Congratulations! You have now converted Atheists from American to Canadian. You now have the Christian Iran you've wanted so bad. If there were a hell, you would belong in it.
The whole tone of Church teaching in regard to woman is, to the last degree, contemptuous and degrading. - Elizabeth Cady Stanton

How to convert an atheist?
1. Get down on your knees and suck it.
I'm not saying it will necessarily work, but this strategy has better chances of success, than anything W.L.Craig or Deepak Chopra ever used their mouths for. And even if it fails - everyone involved will have had a much better time, than they would exchanging condescending platitudes and empty threats...

It's Christian science. See how they disavow a book on first aid:
Jesus is like Pinocchio. He's the bastard son of a carpenter. And a liar. And he wishes he was real.

I actually think preaching to people when they're not in a vulnerable position is actually more likely to push them in the direction of atheism (or at least irreligion). It tends to be an overt display of the total lack of grounding, logic and evidence. Of course, having someone surrounded and using massive peer pressure makes them vulnerable too.
On this forum, even when people are vulnerable and a theist smells blood, I've observed that it still hurts their cause. The desperation on show, and the flawed logic presented to someone who has probably just started properly thinking for themself makes the religion they just left look that bit more ridiculous.

How to ignore a 14 billion year old universe with 100s of billions of galaxies not giving one fuck about the fantasies humans invent for false comfort.

Conversion blow jobs.. huh....
I'm not sure if guttural throaty sounds of unk, slurp, unk,unk is considered conversation. I'm sure that at one point I'd hear "try not to mess up my hair".
