My first "conversion"!

[HeyItsZeus]

I used to ask myself:
What's the point? Why do I feel the urge to persuade them? I use rhetoric and logic when I have arguments but it doesn't mean shit! I find that people who throw out their religion come to the conclusion using their own reasoning and with what information they locate on their own. Why does what I have to say mean nothing?
Then:
I have a friend who grew up Roman Catholic like me. I eventually convinced him that what he believed is irrational and he tossed out bottle of poison that he was forced to take forever! I am so happy!

I did it! My first "conversion"!

I'm just here to brag since I'm so happy

It's 'De-conversion'.

Congrats. I remember talking to this lovely girl online and she attacked me first because of my atheism, but after having a nice long convo with her, she opened up and said that she didn't really believe. That she always had doubt but couldn't come out clean with it because of her religious family and society. I told her to keep quiet about it because of the situation she's in.
She is young and still under parents rule, so I thought it best that she keep it quiet until she could stand independently.

It can be frustrating when debating some theists. Some are too blind and deluded to consider other ideas. Some prefer a blissful reality over a more realistic one. Most of the time, I just debate because I feel the need to challenge theists who make stupid claims and statements. I don't do it in the aim to de-convert.
Some I won't even bother to debate with.
