Always translate, Mehmet.

Unless you ever happen to be speaking Klingon, in which case we won't care. Tongue

He left out the part about keeping them out of the public schools and not letting them play at other childrens' homes.

Funny I thought that was the answer for "What's the best way to turn a potential good Christian into an anti-theist?" Big Grin
"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

The miracle that is Google Translate!
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Anyhow, a child doesn't become an atheist, that is what they are at birth. They only become theists because some fuckwit brainwashed them.
I love that reply though!!

While I believe we are all born without knowledge, I feel that we all have a built in natural curiosity and desire to seek the why's of life and our own individual morality and free will. Is that not the search for God? Could atheists be the disillusioned treasure hunters that found nought?.. I'm just stirring the pot... I must be tired... I don't even have the energy to do that well.
