Try living the life of what a true Christian is supposed to be, to the best of your knowledge. Atleast the golden rule and the 10 commandments. Exercise the largest amount of faith you can, even if that is almost nothing.
Pray to your Father in Heaven(how you picture Him), with real intent, closing it in the name of Jesus Christ atleast once a day for 12 days.
Read one chapter in Bible or Book of Mormon every day then at the end of the twelve days read and apply Moroni 10:3-5.
Begin the challange by readind the introduction of the Book of Mormon and saying a sincere prayer.
I can promise you if you do these things and accept this challange you will recognize a higher power and will gain more blessings of joy, peace and love in your life than you have ever had before in your life.

I ask most of you... If you won't take this challange, how can you know for yourself, either way?

For many of you... I have tried doing the opposite and my life fell apart. I became depressed, my family was almost torn apart, I wanted to commit suicide.

Amen to that! I don't get, though, how some people can put it down because they have never tried. I encourage all who read this to take the challenge, and pray with faith and real intent.

i will settle for the undertaking. I quite have seen people's lives replaced dramatically by the means of the Holy Spirit. my very own mom replaced right into a hardcore alcoholic, tried suicide 3 or extra situations, and abused me her entire existence. She drank liquor like a fish takes in water. sometime, she mentioned God had discovered her. She hasn't touched a single drop when you consider that. i've got seen many different examples. i do no longer choose extra evidence than that.

Thanks for the offer, but I've already tried this. Having already tried this is the reason I'm no longer Christian. On the contrary, I didn't find a higher power, gain more blessings of joy, peace, and love until I found my current belief system. While this may work for some, it's not the only way, nor is it the way for everyone.

Already read and studied the Bible more than most Christians. Morality and religion have nothing to do with each other. Morality was here long before the Old Testament was written. Would rather follow Osama Bin Ladin than follow the twisted Abrahamic idol, good thing logic seems to always point away from these religions, so I don't have to.

Sorry, I already have a religion and have no desire to pretend to be a Christian for even one day. My life is already full of joy, peace and love.
Don't you think it's insulting to other people's faiths to suggest that acting like a Christian for 12 days would make them want to change what they already believe?

trying to get an atheist into christ is a good thing.
trying to get anyone into a book of morman (well,) prehaps read the bible first and see if it is good to read a book of morman. lets face it learn the bible first, you obviously havent. then decide whether the bible needed a addittional book of morman added to it. i get mormans knock on my door all the time. and have to say there knowlege of the bible is disgacefull, right to the point of twisted deception. learn the bible guys without it you will totally of track, with all your self sacrifice being totally in vain. men and anti christs will lead you astray.

That would be fine, except I already have. I was a very faithful christian for a number of years. I studied scripture. I prayed. At one point I went to Mass daily. I realized that I couldnt force myself to believe things I knew were not true.

My reckoning is that atheists live more "Christ-like" than most Christians. We find a moral purpose without being told to. Christ told people to think for themselves.
Your prescription is the height of idiocy. "Pray to your father"? Well my father lives just up the road, I can phone him if I want to speak to him. Please try to stop imagining the world is as witless as you are.

Yeah.....and what are the theists supposed to do ? Apparently the same thing they are doing anyway. Why don't you ask the theists to be an Atheist for twelve days ?

No. I won't accept. I find the Christian way of intolerance, fear and hypocrisy to be very unworthy. And I certainly am not going to validate your imaginary friend by having "faith".
I'd prefer to continue being a decent human being. So I guess I'll just remain an atheist.
