With all this huffing and puffing,just when exactly will you be blowing the house down? After a hundred years of this blather it's getting to be a pretty stale act. When do we see all the churches crumble against the force of your efforts?
May we assume you are simply...ineffective?

maybe.
Why are atheists trying to destroy Christianity?
I thought they were just people who didn't believe in god?

there will always be religion. i am an atheist but many people couldnt stand the fact to not believe in a god. most people cant take the depressing thoughts of i have no purpose or meaning and no ultimate law to suffer by if i go against it. how ever the people that can stand thos facts and do not go crazy at the thought that there is no real meaning or purpose are true atheists. then there are people who believe there is soem kind of "force" out there that will reward them in an afterlife for just doing right in life. personally i think if ur a true believer that there is no god or whatever any nice thing you do actually comes from your heart and not out of fear that if i dont i will burn for eternity

Probably never, there's just too many people who don't like thinking and religion is so established and intertwined into the foundation of family life. I would like to see religion wiped off the face of the earth in my lifetime but realistically, i know it will take at least another hundred years or so if it happens at all.

There are no true atheists. It just doesn't exist in any world society. The people you refer to are antitheists.
They are people who feel that logic and reason are the answer to everything, rather than the God-inspired tool we can use to find what we need in this crazy world. They are threatened by the thought of having to be accountable for their actions and would therefore choose to live without hope for anything beyond the realm of their own control.

More droll blustering I see. You Christians are being separated from your God by this ugly behavior on this forum. That is if you are Christian and not just on here because O'Reilly is over. Is your impotent rage appropriate against someone who you consider 'ineffective'?

Real Atheism has existed for only 150 years. In said time, there has been an increasing growth in secularism and Atheism around the world. Countries like France and Sweden already have numbers of over 50% of population being Atheistic.
The problem is that religion is still prevalent amongst the ignorant classes, and since most people in the world are a part of those classes, it is no surprise religion is still rampant.

The really cool thing is that atheism and agnosticism is growing worldwide. Education takes time but I have high hopes.
