Don't worry. We don't you seriously either.

Your GOD is so powerful that he can't end suffering. Instead of making a utopia, he created a world with suffering. He claims to love all his children but he can't end suffering...

He's so powerful but he can't defeat evil... :dead:

GOD is a human manifestations. He's about as real as Santa Claus.

What are you doing to end suffering?

What is so wrong about suffering? Is it not when suffering is overcome that leads to great accomplishments?

Sucks for them. More lives ruined and gone down the drain chasing futile and pointless endeavors. Its your life to ruin.

People are coming to nonbelief of their own will, unlike Christianity, which actively proselytizes everywhere and has masses of missionaries and pours hundreds of millions of dollars into trying to convert people. That's part of why nonbelief is difficult to eradicate- it doesn't need massive campaigns to try and spread itself.

Time is money and are you not a missionary for the atheist cause. You've been at this for a strong 6 years teaching people about to so called beauties of your Godless life. So far i havnt seen one benefit. Atheism brings people to ruin which is why therapeutically its the worst philosophy a troubled man can turn to.

Of course not. I'm not interested in converting anyone to my way. Look through my posting history if you want. And with respect to your larger argument, there are no nonbeliever churches being set up in Africa and Asia and having millions of dollars poured into them to try and convert anyone. Nonbelief's growth isn't reliant on forced measures like that.

Atheists have a different form of church. The internet, media institutions, and educational institutions are the tabernacles where you devil worshipping scum pour your dollars and time to convert people.

Anyway, non-believers are growing faster than any religion already:

How does 'No Religious Affiliation' = non-belief?

The "unaffiliated" group covers all those who profess no religion, from atheists and agnostics to people with spiritual beliefs but no link to an established faith.

"Many of the religiously unaffiliated do hold religious or spiritual beliefs," the study stressed.

"Belief in God or a higher power is shared by 7% of unaffiliated Chinese adults, 30% of unaffiliated French adults and 68% of unaffiliated US adults."

Non-institutionalized/dis-organized metaphysical beliefs (reincarnation, souls, magic, karma, etc.) are quite common, even among self-professed atheists, so sociologically, it's accurate to create a pool that consists of that entire spectrum of individuals, both because their effects on society are similar and because they generally fraternize with each other in various groups or communities much more than do people who hold organized belief, making them an actual social/cultural formation. The "belief" in the term "non-belief," when it's used in studies like the one in the link, generally refers, as it says, to belief in an established faith- "unaffiliated" is a fine and probably safer alternative from one standpoint, if it's the word that troubles you, though, but I fear that it weakens the divide too much, since at the end of the day, these are people who reject affiliation with these faiths, rather than being noncommittal.

:dead: at the television with bible channels, the media overflowing with christian right wing propaganda, and textbooks being retconned to include intelligent design being the 'churches' of atheism.
