I am a First Gen'er myself. I have encountered a few people that claim they were "atheist" and re-converted for various reasons... but upon further examination, usually they were driven away from God by hatred of a loss, or in another case a Brahman Hindu that claimed atheism until her discovery of Islam.

To re-convert all you need is a weak minded atheist and a really clever rationalization for Jesus.

Perhaps, but a First Gen atheist has already chosen to give up a myth that has been inculcated since childhood. I feel that takes a certain amount of critical thinking, maybe moreso than someone who was raised in a non-religious household.

When in doubt, when in fear, and when in need of self preservation - they resort back to religious believes, incantations, and to mother church, synagogue, mosque or temple.

actually I have found that often the "X" christians are the atheists that are the MOST rigid in their new found lack of religion. that being the case ... it's not a hard and fast rule. I'm sure there are many "X-ers" who would and have returned to "mother church" in times of perceived hardship.

That being said, there is NO FUCKING WAY you or anyone else can make an absolute statement like that and just expect any more than a handful of naive people to agree with you ..... thats something only a fundamental baptist would do!

RE: No first generation true atheist is possible!
Yeah...let me see...I started believing in the god that was watching my shoulder and could do things for me...then I turned to realizing god did nothing...then that there was no evidence it existed...then that he looked like a narcissistic, sadistic jerk according to the bible...then that all other religions shared similar characteristics and bizarre myths again with no evidence...then what religion can do to people to stuff their minds.

I don't believe in any god, if anything everyone is their own god i.e. responsible for their own actions and future according to the steps they choose to take of their free will.

Safe to say I am a full blown Atheist to the point of 99.9% sure because if there is a god, there is no doubt about it he will be dead soon enough once I mount a good old revolution there to cut him down to size for being a megalomaniac, and fully fledged Orwellian tyrant. Big Grin

PS: I am an anomaly to ruin this already flawed theory. Have a nice day. Tongue
