First off, I commend you all for sticking to your guns. However, my preacher told me about some of the trials that God gives atheists, and I was thinking that it would be more convenient for you to convert to Christianity.
For example, my preacher told me that atheists can't go out in the sunlight or their skin will burn. Their skin will also burn if they touch a holy relic.
Atheists also can't eat garlic (no Italian food!) or drink holy water. Also, do you guys get surgery to hide your horns, or do you just wear hats everywhere?
Also, I hear that atheists can't eat fillet mignon because they'll die from a steak to the heart.
In light of all these difficulties, don't you think you'd be better off converting?

Honestly, I think the entire reason I asked this question was because of the steak to the heart joke.

You know, I must be converting, slowly but surely. I went to a church wedding over the summer, and didn't even burst into flames...

It probably would be more convenient to be religious but one can not just pick and choose beliefs so whether we'd be better off converting or not doesn't matter.
In some cases it might be necessary to fake belief but acting like one has converted to prevent being burnt at the stake (or fired, or kicked out of home) is very different to actually converting.
Oh and we can eat garlic and drink holy water (though given what's in holy water I don't see any reason to want to drink the stuff) and some can go out into sunlight and even eat fillet mignon.
We also don't need surgery to hide horns although some of us do wear hats everywhere (but not me).

You advance quite some factors, few of that are genuine questions. a million) Atheists have not got an schedule such as you recommend - we are a disparate team of persons appropriate with the aid of a loss of a theory in any god, yours or in any different case 2) Theists so many times direct mail our web content that we don't ought to pass to non secular web content to be careworn. 3) Atheism isn't a faith - this could be a typical theist false impression. 4) a faith does not ought to have written scriptures to be valid (which isn't comparable to being 'genuine') - Wicca is an occasion. 5) in case you desire to get right into a 'declaring each and every of the blunders on your scriptures' contest then this could desire to be exciting - i'm going to demolish you. 6) As for 'liking arguing approximately god' - not quite... maximum persons do exactly not think of that your, or every person's god, is that exciting. it is not even quite solid fiction.

This is soooo stupid. Obviously you are just joking, but in case your not, evolution is science. Because it's been proven in labs. Plus it's in books, probably something you don't read, except the bible which doesn't count. And I wont convert becuase I already know that evolution is science. I remember at first I was unsure of evolution until my biology teacher said "what are you going to believe, the bible or science" I said, well of course science!" He said "well if you believe in science then you believe in evolution since evolution is science." I hadn't heard it put like that before so I started to believe. So i pose the same to you. 5 + R = 23 (what does R equal). If you say 18, then you just did some science so you believe in evolution too because evolution is science. Think about it. All these facts and data for evolution. I hope I'm not losing you with all this science talk, but if you use your logical brain and not your feelings you will understand that evolution is science.

I must say, this is almost the most entertaining attempt at a slam yet. Not the most thought out one, but definately one of the more creative ones. What's really sad is that while this was likely a joke, I wouldn't be shocked if there were people who believed that

You must be joking. :-)
But just in case...
It's called "sunblock."
No,we only pretend the holy relics and water burn us to scare the Christians.
I love Italian.
Well... I am horn.y.
Those steaks can get to you. I recommend Zantac.

I never go anywhere without my big, floppy hat...those darn horns stick out even if I do my hair 1980's style.
And there is a good reason I'm a vegetarian.

The steak to the heart is an inconvenient truth.
