Is this an Atheist nightmare?

Question

5 Children who become....

1 Christian
1 Muslim
1 Jehovah Witness
1 Wiccan
1 WSIDR

All in a 2 bedroom house.

Would that make an interesting dinner table?

Answer 1

Clusterfuck...

Answer 2

I think that it would be a joy for the right atheist. Too have so many view points and so much conversation in the same home what a wonderful mixture of ideas! If this could truly happen just think of the example it could set for the rest of us. Embrace life don't stumble through it.

Answer 3

Nah, not a nightmare, an interesting sample of the worlds diversity for us to study. However it would be a nightmare for all the rest you mentioned except the WSIDR. The Jehovah's witness would have fun passing out tracts for the first few minutes, but it would go downhill as soon as he/she knew who they were dealing with. Sounds like a great idea for a reality show. Kudos. Pitch it to FOX .

Answer 4

I only have four, but one wants to become LDS

Being an atheist I also have 10% more income and an extra day to work on the house, so our home is much bigger than a 2 bedroom.

Answer 5

This question is based upon a false premise. Jehovah's Witnesses actually *ARE* Christians, according to the biblical definition of the name.

Yet Trinitarians repeatedly pretend that Jehovah's Witnesses are not Christian. Trinitarians use an artificial, trinity-specific definition of the term "Christian" which excludes anyone who does not believe that Jesus is God Himself, rather than the Son of God. Interestingly, pagans in the first century pretended that Christ's followers were Atheists(!) because the Christians had a somewhat different idea from the pagans about the nature of God.

Jehovah's Witnesses teach that no salvation occurs without Christ, that accepting Christ's sacrifice is a requirement for true worship, that every prayer must acknowledge Christ, that Christ is the King of God's Kingdom, that Christ is the head of the Christian congregation, that Christ is immortal and above every creature, even that Christ was the 'master worker' in creating the universe! Both secular dictionaries and disinterested theologians acknowledge that Jehovah's Witnesses are a Christian religion.

The Trinitarian arguments are intended to insult and demean Jehovah's Witnesses, rather than to give a Scripturally accurate understanding of the term "Christian".

In fact, the bible most closely associates being "Christian" with preaching about Christ and Christ's teachings. Review all the times the bible uses the term "Christian" and note that the context connects the term with:
"declaring the good news"
'teaching quite a crowd'
'open eyes, turn from dark to light'
"uttering sayings of truth"
"persuade"
"keep on glorifying"

(Acts 11:20-26) [The early disciples of Jesus] began talking to the Greek-speaking people, declaring the good news of the Lord Jesus... and taught quite a crowd, and it was first in Antioch that the disciples were by divine providence called Christians.

(Acts 26:17-28) [Jesus said to Paul] I am sending you, to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light and from the authority of Satan to God... Paul said: “I am not going mad, Your Excellency Festus, but I am uttering sayings of truth and of soundness of mind. ...Do you, King Agrippa, believe the Prophets? I know you believe.” But Agrippa said to Paul: “In a short time you would persuade me to become a Christian.”

(1 Peter 4:14-16) If you are being reproached for the name of Christ, you are happy... But if he suffers as a Christian, let him not feel shame, but let him keep on glorifying God in this name


So why do anti-Witnesses try to hijack the term "Christian" and hide its Scriptural implications? Because anti-Witnesses recognize that it is the preaching work that makes it clear that the relatively small religion of Jehovah's Witnesses are by far the most prominent followers of Christ:

(Matthew 28:19,20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded

Answer 6

It wouldn't be a nightmare for me at all. I don't bring my children up to believe the same as me as far as religion goes. If they wanted to follow a particular religion I should respect that choice. They're not little clones of me, they are individuals who are allowed to make their own decisions.

Answer 7

I think it would be anybody's nightmare.

Actually, considering that many of my aunts and uncles are Jewish, my parents are Christian, my sister married a Methodist minister, and my girlfriend is Muslim, something similar could happen to this atheist. I'm not too worried about it, though.

Answer 8

if they are mature enough to handle religion they could easily enjoy a debate. If they are to immature to handle a religious belief, they will fight.
Religion is a mature idea that should not be in the hands of babies. It only leads to war.

Answer 9

What would creep me out is if they turned out like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre family. Religions don't bother me so much.

2 points!

Answer 10

If we can have a vegetarian, and NRA member and an anarchist, you've got the makings of a sitcom

Answer 11

The believers would all destroy each other and the Atheist would sit back and laugh with the WSIDR
