You can make them believe anything and I think that starting them out with "religions are stupid and false, have fun" is great.
You are instilling them with the virtues that fit your own viewpoint, which runs counter to the atheist ideal that YOU DECIDE WHAT YOU BELIEVE FOR YOURSELF. You are doing the same thing you despise Christians for doing, the only difference is you're to blinded by your bigoted arrogance to realize it.
In short, you don't think your shit stinks.
haha a personal truth.
Did I stutter?
That's just a made-up concept that means the same thing: you think their religion is stupid and wrong and that everyone should be YOUR religion. Admit it, you'd love nothing more than to see every last person on earth converted to your branch of whatever faith you follow.
I hate to disappoint you, pox, but I am actually just content to allow others to practice their own belief systems unhindered. Simply being a Christian doesn't put me in the same class of practitioners as the Jerry Falwell and Pat Buchanan crowd, and if you honestly thought I was in that crowd to begin with, then it goes to show everyone in this forum how little you actually know about me personally.

I don't believe that for a second.
That's because Hell as it is described by most evangelical Christians doesn't actually exist, I've mentioned this before but people tend to side-step that...
I don't believe god cares if we go to a certain building every week for the weekly fashion show, & look at me I'm in church, to be seen.... even though I'm a S.O.B. to everyone through the rest of the week.
None of that works for me.
Makes sense to me.
