To Convert Or De-Convert
I regularly hear and read christians and atheists say that we (atheists) want to convert christians to atheism. That is so wrong, we want to de-convert them. They were born un-converted, we all were, and then many of us unlucky one were converted to whatever religion our guardians believed in.
Yes, I want to de-convert all of the converted. I’m not the most educated person when it comes to debating with a theologion but everything they say is made up, how can you argue with that?
It’s the regular people that can easily be de-converted because all you have to do is get them to read the bible. Not the warm and fuzzy crap they spew in church, the crazy stuff they don’t tell you about because it’s crazy.
Do you want take make the world a better place? De-convert your family and friends and stamp out the ignorance that comes with religion.

I recently debated a leading American theologian (Prof. Ben Witherington) on the evidence for Jesus. He struggled to explain why we should believe Jesus The Christ even existed. Listen here.

most atheists have no idea of what they profess … not richard dawkins even …
you may not understand this, but i will quote it anyway .. it is from a letter to the editor in the hindu, a newspaper in chennai, india … “atheism is the summum bonum of a spiritual quest based on truth and reality”
that is a beautiful and profound understanding .. a-theism means without theism … but the magic and mystery of conscious exploration of spiritual realities is a great thing .. it exists, religions just tried to get a belief around such things …
and don’t proseletyze, just keep quient, continue to investigate the nature and substance of your mind, find out where thoughts come from …
all beliefs and rituals are metaphors for something beyond words and beyond mind … there is a great reason behind the truth that he who knows doesn’t speak, and he who speaks doesn’t know ..
you have taken the first step towards enlightenment, lucky …. it does not stop here, keep going…
enjoy, gregory lent

Greg, thanks for the comment. I think that spiritual thinking is done by people raised to believe in a God, they were however able to let go of the God but not the mystery.
Once those synapse are set it’s difficult to redirect them. I was raised to believe in God and the supernatural, when I learned the truth (god is imaginary) I was able to let go of everything in an instant. I’m sure it doesn’t come as easy for most.
The spiritual world does not exist. The world is governed by the laws of nature. There are lots of mysteries in natural but none of them are spiritual or supernatural.
