Hate to burst your bubble their buddy, but popularity isn't an argument. Christians are actually the minority out of the rest of the 7 billion combined. Again, seems for the past 1700 years, which was when the first completed bible was written your precious magic baby cant spread his word to the point of being the majority of the world's population.
And funny how the Chinese and Aboriginals had no record of Jews or Christians during the alleged period. Funny how all the claims of Jews and early Christians seem to be stuck only in Europe, northern Africa and Mesopotamia during that time. Again, I wouldn't hire such a slow delivery driver for FED EX or Domino's Pizza.
See guys years and years of smoking pot and loud music does indeed rot your brain!
Otherwise our dear abba would know I am saying that the decline in the popularity of religion is indeed all part of the plan.
Why? because the super "religious" move on to relationship with God as planned, and the foolish man's house keeps getting washed away and he simple quits.
Someone in the last thread asked why hasn't Jesus come back yet? I pointed out that according to 2 peter Peter explains that so long as there is one salvageable soul left to save Jesus will wait till it is save so none should parish. This however points to a day where their will be no other potential souls to save young or old.
So yes the demise and decline of the church is indeed All Apart of God's plan as much as the second coming is!

Why do you quote me and ignore what I typed?
I really could give a shit less why you think he didn't come back now. I am talking about back then, if it was supposed to be a gift to the world seems others outside Mesopotamia like in China or Australia would have written something down too BACK THEN. Again, seems pretty damned slow to get your message out if you want the entire world on the same page.
Not only is your God a drama queen he is a huge procrastinator to boot.

I guess it shouldn't surprise me that I have to state the obvious to you, but the answer is that it depended on what time and place you lived.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Belief in god IS a religion.
So, the first "no" to the question.
Imaginary beings can't destroy anything.
That's "no" number 2.

Why do you quote me and ignore what I typed? I didn't ignore anything... your just too stupid to see I am arguing yourside. The OP Asks does God's plan obliterate religion. The answer is yes. By design. Then I explain the design. A design you assumed was meant to refute your argument. Rather it was meant to augement your argument. You agree and add/fill in your blanks.

Again it's not converting everyone. It's about getting the message out to those in whom were called.

Ha! Pulled that out of your ass. Hilarious. We have on christian claiming christianity's popularity proves it's true, and onther claiming the decline of christianity proves it's true.

Nobody is "called", not in your religion not in any religion. Humans merely like believing they are heros to humanity and chalk it up to superstition. Our real compassion is in our evolution, not old books of myth. If you are really hearing voices see a shrink. FYI I don't need you to tell me how to live my life and no, I don't have any desire to base my life on old books of mythology.

Again pointing back to the passage in 2peter The Day of Christ return won't happen till the last person who can be saved gets saved... If the populous continues to grow that can only mean the church at the end times must be in decline.
The book of revelation also makes mentioned of the dead and dying church.
We are all simply on schedule.

Those who have access to Christianity and has ever heard the gospel even once fit the definition of being "called."
