C'mon Cinj, surely you can see that meeting him on that day was more than coincidence! God has a plan you know!

Well, if our minds are too small, then we're in a shitload of trouble. God apparently had no idea where the cosmos came from or how it worked. So that's Cosmos-2, Intelligence-0. Lookin like it's gonna be a shutout folks. Is there a slaughter rule?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Because they are far more Christians to make friends with than there are Atheists. He's not in this for the faith, but the faithful. Pure and simple. He's a spineless brain-dead fool who wants to please and/or deceive others, in this case, the majority. His new-found Christian "friends" would quickly discover his dishonesty if they ever bothered to apply moderate scrutiny to anything just once in their gullible lives.

Smartest thing you could ever have done was by parting ways and moving on. I don't know about you, but I prefer to be around sincere people.

Don't forget the hell factor.

You get the right hell-fire preacher to sell it and it can be a terrifying thing for the weak minded and those hungry for love and acceptance.

I say great for him, where is love for ones fellow man in your atheistic beliefs.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Most of us, if not, all of us are humanists, not that you care.

And oddly, no sooner did you write that than G-C showed up admirably filling the bill.

So what exactly were the odds that a friend from a few years ago that you don't regularly see outside your usual bar, spoke at length for years about disbelieving God, happened to be walking by the bar at the moment you were smoking a cigarette and that you had noticed him and bothered to exchange a greeting and start a conversation?
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
