[Serious] fact finding mission for non-Christians

[no one]

FACTS:

1) People are stupid.
2) People will believe anything, so long as it's packaged in a pretty bundle.
C) Did I mention people are stupid?

[LadyForCamus]

1. Faith is not a virtue

2. Noone has ever been able to coherently describe, using positive descriptors, what a supernatural thing is.

3. God has no explanatory power for the existence of reality, because no mechanism of action has ever been postulated, let alone demonstrated.

These three points strongly contribute to my lack of confidence in the god-hypothesis.

Sad when you have to state the obvious.

Three ways you can make people instantly uncomfortable, and it's quite rude:

1. Suggesting they are going to hell
2. Suggesting they actually believe in God, but they're afraid to admit it
3. Pulling them into a prayer circle. Let people enter the circle or stay out of it on their own steam. Forcing them is super awkward.

Hmm top 3 things I want Christians to know...disclaimer: I decided to forgo super facty facts for more opiniony facts because I really wanted to focus on the most important message I would like to get across to Christians. I know this may not be exactly what the thread had in mind, but I don’t really have any interest in trying to prove anyone’s religion wrong or promoting the lack of belief in god. I think proselytizing atheism is pretty silly. Anywho:

1. While religion can certainly be a breeding ground for great people, you don’t have to be a Christian or religious at all to be a good person.

2. It is never acceptable to use your religion as an excuse to cause harm.

3. Tacos do not have cheese or sour cream.

I believe number 3 needs further explanation.

Let’s not derail a wonderful serious topic but I will note your preference. @Losty that among other is exactly what I want. If you think Christians don’t/won’t listen and you could get 3 points across AND you are not Christian ( including non believers and polytheist, deist, agnostic, etc. ad Nauseum)feel free to add to or go for round two if you have that much to share.

 Number 3 sounds a bit like the food police telling me  I can't have pineapple on my pizza.

Anyway ,not that fond of  Tacos :We have no Taco Bell in  Australia and the supermarket Tacos are vile. I use fresh papadam instead.

1: I have never found any reference to god(s) except by the words of believers.
2: I do not believe the believers.
3: I do not believe it when people tell me they have seen ghosts.

1. Adam Sandler. A loving god would not inflict Adam Sandler on his precious children.

2. So many different religions and denominations. An intelligent god would not cause such confusion in his followers. His message would be clear and not open to interpretation.

3. Unicorns. A loving god would make unicorns a reality. Not the gay, rainbow farting kind with dildos on their heads. Real unicorns.
