Convert might not be the right word.

Who do you think convinces people that they are right more often? Chrisitans or Atheists.

It must happen from time to time.

because

you are smart,
its difficult to believe anything without good reason
you are happy without god
god does not make any difference in your life
idea of god is funny
you have no time for prayer
you hate blood shed in religions
you hate hypocracy of religious people
you cannot accept fate
you believe that u are god
there is no good religion to convince you yet.
your parents are atheists

In the 80's the mormon/LDS church did a big campaign on backmasking and Procter and Gamble products, the P and J products had a wizard with a moon next to it on their lables at one time, this was considered very bad. Anyone ever hear about this and what does the wizard and moon mean anyways or what did it mean. The mormons advised, members not to buy these products, at least the members in UT.

evolution followed (i mean from that specific being to another one) but as to evolution (in the general sense) there are plenty of evidence: atrophia/hypertrophia, organisms adapting to new environments, genetic mutations, medicines that dont erase viruses but make them turn into something different (living organisms, whose environment is changed, changing to something different to survive in the new conditions)...why then is evolution theory so completely unthinkable for some people???
why for instance people born in warmer places are born with darker skins?? is that not a proof of adapting to the environment (i.e evolution) ?
i only think the "wrong" thing about evolution is that the word has a meaning of changing to something better, more perfect...and i think evolution is just a change to adapt to new environments and not necessarily implying perfection.
i studied humanity so i dont know much about science (i dont even know what is an I- pod but that is what i think)

i know that when i see a skeptic present an argument that is not sound or is generally weak, other skeptics (including myself) will point it out. The last thing we want to see is incompetent polemics.
But christians continuously present arguments here that "ride the short bus" and i can only suppose that the more intellegent christians are deliberately avoiding the task of setting their "kin" straight on those things.
If you are a christian, and you see another christian present a glib argument, like for example any derivative form of "pascal's wager", why don't you chime in to edify your fellow beleivers line of thinking?
Obviously, skeptics themselves don't hold back from correcting those arguments, but when a "unbeliever" corrects them, it only makes "less smart" christians bitter and insolent about the issue.
wouldn't it make more sense for the wiser christians to take a slightly more proactive with the people who are "liabilities" for their own side?

She always shows up, unannounced, either when my toddler is napping or just going down for his nap. Sometimes my house us a wreck! It's embarrassing. She always apologizes (but then ALWAYS does it)... saying "Sorry to just drop in on you, but I decided to swing into town last-minute today." I always am polite and tolerate it... but it's really starting to annoy me.

My husband doesn't want to offend her. Advice?

I think this because once they die they'll feel really bad for not believing it. If you think otherwise, feel free to tell me why.

My friend is an atheist. I have known her since the second grade and she was always a devout Christian. When we got into high school, I moved to a Christian school. A year later, I see her at a celebration that the town holds every year and she told me that she was an atheist. I asked her why and she responded "When God proves himself to me, I'll believe in him." How do I respond to that comment?
