Let's say you spend the next 20 or 30 years posting here every day trying to defeat Christianity and one day you finally win! Christianity is reduced to a minority faith and no longer in the way of your oppressive agenda! You can now fulfill your dreams and fantasies and reduce Middle America to poverty!
Unfortunately, Middle America (now majority atheist) without religion is more willing to fight back than it ever has been! No more "turning the other cheek!" Could all your hard work only make Middle America stronger than it was before???
Could the defeat of Chrisitianity also lead to the defeat of liberalism?
I have seen some pro-life atheists (although they are a minority among atheists) and have noticed that the liberals have a tough time arguing with them concerning abortion. Most of the time the liberals tend to turn tail when they see they are arguing with a fellow atheist. Could this be a sign of what liberals will face with a more atheistic Middle America?

Yeah, that's an idiotic question, but I'm one of those Pro Life atheist democrats, but only because it Wins Elections. We have to get Tough as liberals, and fight the Mean spirited tactics of the Republicans with Strong Populist anti-corporate tactics, and Real Family Values, for instance we Should back LAND MINES ON THE BORDERS

Erroneous premise. Turning the other cheek may be preached by Christianity, but it has certainly not been the practice. Holy War is more like it.
I look forward to the day when Christianity will be effectively marginalized, and we can reclaim our proud heritage of High Paganism, as in the admirable (I'm not saying it's perfect) culture of Athens during the Golden Age of Pericles. They were far more advanced than the first 1500 years of Christendumb, which was more like Hell on Earth.

IF all liberals were atheists, and IF it were true that where a majority of atheists in middle America (could not be more false), and IF it were true that atheists were less opposed to war that say... christians were. IF all those things were true and not blatantly false, you MIGHT be just a step or two away from having a point.

I'm a "liberal" Christian...so I'm not sure what you are talking about.
But...being progressive and a Christian, I'd like to think that I might spend the "next 20 or 30 years" encouraging people to love God, themselves, and each other more. And I hope to read posts that encourage me to do the same.
By the way, how many conservative Christians believe in turning the other cheek? Never mind...Once again, I'm having a tough time figuring out the point you are trying to make.
peace

Ok, I'll bite. You are "assuming" that all liberals are atheists. You couldn't be more wrong. Just like not all conservatives are christian. I know that's a tough one to swallow, but it's true. I'm atheist, and I am moderate. But I have christian friends who some are conservatives and some are liberals. My parents are christian and they are liberal. You really need to let go of your hatred of liberals. They aren't your enemy. Your enemies are the ones you keep closest to your heart.

Dude, you're wrong. Atheists only account for 13% of americans.
Nobody here is under the illusion that they will "defeat" Christianity.
You just made all this up, didn't you?

I have not even concerned myself with reading your answer, but I would like you to know that I completely disagree with your name.
Where in the Bible have you read that God hates Liberals?
God is a god of love, not of hate.
God bless you!

Not all Liberals aren't Christian.
