Did you even read what I said?<BR/><BR/>Really, how do you know that there aren't any nontheistic philanthropists? (Bill Gates comes to mind.) And how do you know that none of the religious people do good for goodness' sake? I wouldn't dare oversimplify religion that much.millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05990852054891771988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9124539381685751273.post-50417632002887126272008-12-07T11:51:00.000-08:002008-12-07T11:51:00.000-08:00It seems to be a highly misguided campaign, its fo...It seems to be a highly misguided campaign, its forgetting the people who've believed in GOD and did great things, which no one would dispute - like Mother Teresa.<BR/><BR/>What if there was no religious belief, do you think we'd have Blessed Mother Teresa? How much worse the world would have been if we didn't have Blessed Mother Teresa!<BR/><BR/>How many people can AHA point out, showing the works that Blessed Mother Teresa did. This is not just Blessed Mother Teresa, but millions of Saints and Religious and Lay people. <BR/><BR/>Go to a Christian Charity - any home of Blessed Mother Teresa's Community, see how they work - see first hand and then show anyone, who is an atheist, do a similar work. Speak to the religious in that home and ask, how GOD helps them be very good. <BR/><BR/>Let us ask the people that do most good, how they do it!<BR/><BR/>A world full of atheists, is one that will have not even a millionth of goodness, compared to a world full of Christians (living true Christian lives)!<BR/><BR/>GOD Bless!<BR/><BR/>binoyamathew888(at)yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9124539381685751273.post-52307291041495583512008-11-17T09:51:00.000-08:002008-11-17T09:51:00.000-08:00"So why bother trying to be 'nice' if it'll be con..."So why bother trying to be 'nice' if it'll be controversial either way?"<BR/><BR/>Simple, if you are nice, it gives your opponents no good reasons to hate you and leaves them flailing with bad reasons. That makes it much harder for your opponents to maintain a veneer of reasonableness.J. J.

As much as I would like to explicitly encourage people to deconvert (I'd love to see fewer religious people in the world), I don't think I can do that and also complain about religious proselytizing. But letting people know that it's <I>okay</I> to be an atheist is something I can support and defend wholeheartedly!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
