Why convert those who refuse?
Offline YOU RESPOND:
I fail to see how ending Christmas will have any postive affect on the
world at all. Personally, I view The Holy Bible as a book of life lessons
more than the book of God, so don't judge me as a fanatical Christian, or
a Christian at all for that matter. Why end Christmas? Why convert people
who believe in something to believe in anything else? Even if they DID
believe that God is the almighty savior, or whatever they may believe,
according to you, nothing would happen anyway, as this is our one and only
life. So, I ask you to explain to me how ending Christmas will have any
postive affect on society as a whole, as opposed to keeping your
oppression towards believing in a higher authority and expressing your
opinions to yourselves, and not trying to force your beliefs onto others?
Regardless of whether you believe in it or not, religion has had the
greatest impact on every culture on Earth, and ighting against this commin
fact will only make the world's diverse cultures more identical than they
already are, and soon enough, we'll all be the same people. Let me repeat
myself, I am not a fanatical Chirstian. In fact, I do not believe in a
God. I believe in science.
So, I'll ask again. what's the point? If anything, your cause is likely to
start a war, like the very religions you feel "cause all of the world's
problems". Handing out Atheist DVDs to Christians is a ridciulous way to
gain attention, as you can't chage what is instilled into the minds of
people since they were born. Religion becomes instinct as far as I'm
concerned, and if you can't take the wild out of the tiger, you can't take
the religion out of the believer.
Thanks for listening, regardless if you answer or not.

"Our goal is to encourage Christians to view this movie with the hope that they will begin to question the validity of their erroneous beliefs. We place thought provoking flyers, and educate the public on the true origins of the Christmas holiday season (nothing to do with Christ)." www.endchristmas.com
Deuteronomy 21: 21-18 "If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear."
What lesson should a learn from that?
See link in first answer
One aren't you trying to convence me of something you believe?
The why answer differs from person to person, but here are responses to those kinds of questions.
Great as in large does not always mean great as in good.
First atheists only agree on one thing and there are even degrees of that. Second there is something called globelization. Third there seems to be a shift in how cultures work with new technologies. Basically the divitions of culture are shifting from less location based to tastes based. Like the cultures that are forming around music. And then there are even divitons with in those divitions.
If that is the case I fail to see why you would have a problem with a world that bases knowledge on reason.
Um doing something gets way more attention then just talking on a forum...
I think RRS has had success and there are Christians who become atheist so I have more reason to believe it is possible.
Also read this for more on the War on Christmas.
Ooops, you failed.
Try again.
again, our position is the logical one. we [RRS, but not all atheists] follow the scientific method and use evidence to demonstrate our point(s).
seriously now. the point is to seek and teach the actual truth, and give people the right tools to do the same.
