The God Delusion was #8 on the New York Times bestseller list, #10 on Publishers Weekly, and #2 on the Amazon best-seller rankings in November 2006. At the same time, Letter was #6 on the Times list, and #8 in the Amazon rankings. Meanwhile, an increasing number of atheists are attacking our Christian faith in several major newspapers and websites—with their evolutionary beliefs often presented.

What do I think? I think that as the number of people wanting to not have responsibility for their actions and free themselves of guilt from their actions grow, so do the number of Athiests. I think that when one carries the knowledge in their hearts that they will one day have to answer to a higher power, it puts a restriction on their bad deeds and gives them something to work towards besides death.

That's what I think.

Wow! Should I be concerned? When did the Christian control the number of converts anyway?

God brought me to believe him. i think that he still does that. So if the Atheists are gaining in numbers, it's none of my buisness. Neither am I the sheep that the Atheists would label me. Because numbers and peer pressure mean nothing to me. The experiences that I've had with God means more.

So cool. There are more Atheists. That means that there is less competition for me to enjoy the love of God. After all, I get jealous of others for that very reason.

By the way, your page threw me a couple of errors. It may need some work.

The God Delusion and Letter were on some best-seller lists, so what? That doesn't mean that all the readers of these books are atheists.
I personally never meet an atheist in the flesh (because there are not many atheists in my country, thank God)

I personally beleive that no atheist can explain the creation of the universe in a logical sense without the contribution of a causa prima, who we call God.

1. I think that you need to have a bible handy in case you are alive when the tribulation hits. Read up on the mark of the beast before you stick your hand out to receive a mark without which you will not be able to buy or sell.

2. Double check your resources, the "best seller" list opts to exclude the fact that the bible has never not been the #1 best seller every year. The New York times et all have conveniently left it off the list.

3. Luke 21:17 and you will be hated by all on account of My name.

I think Islam is still the fastest growing religion in the world. And if you want to talk books, I've got one for you. The Qur'an is the most widely read book in the world. New York Times is based on sales--Qur'ans are free from most mosques and several websites.

What do I think? I think bible prophecy is being fulfilled, but people don't see it, or just don't know what it says and are doing what they think is right. The world is being set up for a time that will only happen once in it's existence, I'm excited about it. I honestly don't care what they do, it's all falling into place just the way the bible said it would. I'm not worried about their thumbs down or their retorts, that type of behavior fits in with it all. =)

Revelation 13 says that the beast (the government, I think; governments tend to represent themselves by means of mascots) oppresses the saints for 42 months. It is assisted in this by the dragon-voiced lamb - Christian cult leaders who claim to have self-resurrected - that deceives the inhabitants of the earth and convinces them to make an image of the beast (the dramatic portrayals of government operations). The way that people seem to try to manipulate others is to set up ceremonies by which to receive their messengers. They don't necessarily seem to pay so much attention to the messages (Colossians 2:18). Therefore, what the politicians are saying might be less important to people as the fact that they have made an appearance at all. This goes along with times of a lot of pressure placed onto politicians as well. "However, John Howard is, in addition, a steadfast supporter of the State of Israel which he has visited three times, most recently in May, 2000." is a quote I just took off the http://www.aijac.org.au/events-promotions/howard-ajc.html website. A list of his alleged viewpoints about Jewish people is then presented, and it might very well be accurate, but the fact of making public appearances appears, in itself to be the way by which people try to determine what's "really" happening by comparison with the dramatic portrayals on TV on what government workers' private lives are like. It can get quite crass in some circles.

Therefore, I think that society goes through cycles and that belief in God tends to go along with belief in authority. This is the opposite to belief in mythology, which relies on aspiration for its influence, rather than authority. Mythology also has a fair bit of crass behaviour in it as well.

i think you at the instant are not a mathematician...the form you have couched your assertian that crime and atheism are correlated is, nicely, naive, e.g. for Sweden "Atheists 40 six - eighty 5%" (statistically, a mathematical announcement of "we don't be conscious of") Taking a rapid look on the parameters used to calculate GPI, we see #2 is "expected deaths simply by exterior wars UCDP..." Hmmm- securing peace (ostensibly) someplace else directly penalizes that united states (e.g. united kingdom, US). To wit, many of the parameters would be skewed by potential of inhabitants on my own. finding on the "Coding" (acceptable-maximum column)...i like the "Qualitative scale". ...let us know how residing in Estonia, South Korea, or Vietnam works out for you :-)

I'm not an Atheist, but evolution is just common sense if you study it. There's so much evidence it's simply overwhelming. All of the best scientists in the world, even the Christian ones support it, and take it as a given. The scientists that don't simply don't have the same credentials.

Right. Whatever. Come and see me or call for me when you're on your deathbed so I can witness your "conversion". Get a life, fool. And stop following that crowd of losers. Dawkins is an asshole and nothing he says should be taken seriously by any rational thinking person.
