BUT OLB in the spirit of the title of the thread "Don't take people's firearms away from them"
Just like , "Don't take lead out of gas"
Just like "Don't take lead out of paint"
Reality sucks doesn't it?

@OLB
Yea I hijacked the obvious statement that life is short and this is the only one all of us have.
If your idea of "hope" is more firearms, then to me, you are as bat shit insane as any Muslim or Christian or Jew that thinks that "If only more" will make all others submit to you.
Our species does not need more weapons or more religion. Our species needs more realization that we are THE SAME FUCKING SPECIES.

People will have to abandon them themselves.
Yeah, so there's really no point in trying. I don't really know any atheists who do, fwiw.
Exactly. There’s a reason we spend our time here and not on Christian forums, trying to deconvert people.

Maybe we should set up a Brian forum where only Brian can post. Some day he could no doubt compile all his posts and self-publish them in a book, titled something like "the wisdoms of brian".
I'll contribute if $$ is what it takes to get that idea off the ground.
Do we need to start crowdfunding?

It's fun to believe in imaginary things when you're a kid; be young, be innocent while you can, because you'll be a people-hating adult soon enough. But there comes a time when childish things should be left in childhood. Just as Santa is left behind, so should fictional mythological notions such as religion.
