The 2,604,381,000 estimate for mid-year 2023 Christian population total is a 44,506,000-person increase from the mid-year 2022 total."

The vast majority of people are the same religion as their parents.

Indoctrination works. Not much of a surprise there.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

-Mary’s minge

-Mary’s tits

-God’s goolies/bollocks/balls

-Jesus H. Tap Dancing Christ

-Jesus shitting Christ

Of course I would never repeat any of these for the sake of my immortal soul.

To be a good Christian you have to be a horrible person

you just have to rank the best of your fellow men, no netter what their actual contribution to mankind’s welfare happen to be, far beneath some dead wastrel from 2000 years ago and his groupies, whose main trick is to imply all his superiors are nothing without him.

We kids learned to swear from dad who was a master at it.

Along with those that weren't religious in nature were these two:

Jesus H Christ

You god damned dummy * there was emphasis on each word and a slight pause in between each* (I thought my brother might grow up thinking this was his name)

Pretty sure my grandfather said something in German that roughly translated to 'Good God in Heaven'.

You shouldn't do it, according to Christ's Teaching: "But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken." (Mat 12:36)

29 Do not let unwholesome [foul, profane, worthless, vulgar] words ever come out of your mouth, but only such speech as is good for building up others, according to the need and the occasion, so that it will be a blessing to those who hear [you speak]." (Ephesians 4:29, Amplified KJV)

Of course, your religion/religious ideology might teach you otherwise or not teach you this, but our Religion teaches us this.

The question is, why would such a hateful unhappy jerk, as you clearly are, come here and lie and threaten, even though you know what the Catechism says, and purposely misrepresent what your church teaches ?  Did Jesus threaten the people who came to hear him ? No. 

John 13:35 "By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
You obviously are not a disciple of Jesus. You are filled with pride and hate.

The funniest thing of all is that this True Believer™ in an omnipotent god clearly thinks hid little godling need this shitposting help from a mortal.

NX, if your god needed more conversion, why doesn't he do his own work? And -- are you the best salesman he can come up with?

Clearly you lack the faith that your god can convince atheists himself, and think your god needs your help. I think pride is a deadly sin, according to your own book. You should be more Christlike and humble, don't you think?

It therefore looks to me like you're not trying to convince anyone else here but yourself. You're obviously doubting your faith and trying to buttress it by this mindless yammering.

I'm pretty sure that's a cock I hear crowing ... in more ways than one, lol.
