This reminds me of a series of honeypot threads in the civfanatics general forums. They were called 'Watch me destroy Christianity'. It was hundreds of pages of one post snipes repeating the same ruddy arguments.


hey down with slavery if you were born in a Muslim country

Hey theists/christians of this thread. What would it take for you to stop believing?

And this is coming from a guy who used to post on the rr-bb message boards in earnest.

I was once religious and the problem is when you are you feel just as right as one does when they aren't. Not a little more doubtful, not a bit more hesitant.. exactly as sure. More so, often.

Change of beliefs so central to one's identity doesn't come from debate. It comes from a change of attitude and an opening of the mind.

Haven't studies been done which prove it doesn't matter how many facts and holes you poke in the religious arguments, they'll just shore up their beliefs further?

I asked earlier in this thread what would change your minds and the answer I got was: nothing. So what's the point?
