Actually Carl, my prayers are working great.
Answer the question or don't post in the first place.

..guys.
If I'm asking how I can be more humble--that's the farthest thing from pride.
Pride is refusing to admit it. At least I examine myself instead of judge you..
Answer the question!

Oh, so many ways I could answer this...
Perhaps after they speak you to, you could be at least civil enough not to wave off everything they've just said as "irrelevant".
You could stop assuming that anyone who has ever believed previously and doesn't now "never REALLY believed to begin with".
But then again, this has just been MY experience with YOU. You might not be so rude to others.

Isn't humility one of those goals you can't actually strive for, because the harder you try, the farther away it gets? Or something like that.
Forget humility. Focus on honesty. That'll impress an atheist every time.
And you needn't capitalize the word (except when it begins a sentence) because it's not a religion.

I dont mind Atheists as long as they dont put down other peoples religions. If it doesn't work for them thats fine, but dont attack what we beleive in. Try to ignore them or stear the conversation away from religion, but sometimes people are just mean so say "its better to have hope than be hopeless".

If it's a difficult task, I would suggest you have some issues with humility. Perhaps even false pride.

Uh, have them ask you questions about Christianity you can't answer, that should do the trick.

All you can do is keep any and all opnions in your head, hopefully they will do the same. As long as you dont bring it up, they shouldnt bring it up!!!!!! have a good weekend..

We put up with you and your insane and totally childish credos, so you might take the same approach to us. Read the art of loving by Eric Fromme. Good luck.

I'd suggest accepting the fact that their belief of no god might possibly be correct.
