Well, Christian-bashing is an improvement over Christ-bashing at least. Still, I don't understand the need that atheists have to proselytize others into their religion. Yes, I said religion. You have faith that their is no God, unlike the agnostics. Many atheists feel they have proven the negative. We see them here daily speaking ill of us foolish Christians. Please direct me to the Christian who called you a lapdog of Satan and I will rebuke him/her for their own sake.
Many atheists on this forum (note I do not lump the whole group together and damn them all by sections) are so intent on converting others, they could be such an asset to the Christ's church if only they were not quite so self-absorbed.
I will pray for you. Perhaps, as you say, it won't help. But, how could it hurt? How are you being harmed. Religion and spirituality has brought you a world that values fair play, concern for the needy, hospitality, and communal effort. These values did not come from evolution. A social conscience and willingness to sacrifice does not improve the chances of an individual's survival.
From where do your moral absolutes spring? I say they spring from the religious values that helped to establish civilization to begin with. Furthermore, I believe those values came from God, but we can talk more about that later. Right now, I'm wondering why you choose to believe in freedom, and what does freedom mean to you? How about peace, altruism, giving, stealing, survival of the fittest, etc.? How do you determine moral correctness? It is obvious that you do. Are your morals to be inflicted on everyone? Why not be tolerant of war, hate, greed, etc. I can answer that question for myself. How do you answer that question for yourself?
Please consider sharing more of your reasoning and less of your opinions. Then a dialogue might begin. Just a thought.

I apologize for all of my Atheist bashing
But all of you atheist we love as Christ Loves us, We all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
And you are being controlled by Satan, his greatest weapon is people who dont even think he exists.
We are just trying to free your minds, from his control and from the pseudo secular brainwashing, we know that you already hate us for this,
peace
Jhn 15:18 ¶ If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before [it hated] you.
Jhn 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
But in the long run, you and your children will actually thank God for sending us to warn you of the eternal consequences

It's early in the day and the name calling has already begun. You are not persuading anyone, if that is your intent. You start with the word "apologize" and speak of Christians with "disgust" in the third person. I call that schizophrenic hypocrisy. I am as free as you to believe as I wish. I am not controlled by religion. I do not hate you so quit assuming.

No one expects you to apologize. You are what you are. A tree is known by the fruit it bears. You're obviously bearing fruits of Satan. It's your mind that shackled with the bondages of sin, not mines. I mean, really, Who are you to care what I believe? Why does it hurt you so much....Why are you so disgusted by something if it's not hurting you? I'm not writing in this form to change you. It will only take the power of the Holy Spirit to do that. I'm here to help and encourage someone who is willing to believe. No, you're not lap dogs of satan. You're one of his imps.

Stalin, Mao, Minh, Kim Il, Pohl Pot, and their likes tried to free people of "religious control" too. 100 million people died.
I'll stick with my religion, thanks. You "freethinkers" murder too many people. And you're so full of hate you can't see all the good things Christians do.

Stop bashing - keep asking! We must all grow from the exchange of ideas.

...Matthew 12:30 "He that is not with Me is against Me, and he that gathereth not with Me scattereth abroad."
...Either you belong to Him, or you don't - no middle ground.
...I wish you a blessed eternity, and pray that you will trust in the Lord Jesus alone as your Savior.
