Out of bounds? Not for us "non believers". However, it is very un-christian.

Yeah it's not like non believers have murdered anyone in great numbers either. Don't confuse religious folks with Christians. There is a difference. Yeah, Islam and Christianity are the same. Brilliant.

So the people who were forced to be Christians just decided , What the hell, we might as well stay Christians? Those religious folks just murdered my family, but hey I'm too lazy to decide to believe in something else so for generations to come, we'll just stay this religion. How does that make sense?

Not ok for you by your own rules. I never said it wasn't okay for you to do that, while it was okay for non-believers, your own rules are the ones who say it's not okay for you.

Oh, wait, gee, maybe it might be that persecutions by christians against non-christians has been around for longer than the current members of their family have? You have to realize that they weren't persecuted for like 20 years, then the persecution suddenly stopped, and they still decided to be christians. They were persecuted, their children were persecuted, and their grandchildren were the religion of their children, and their great-grandchildren were the religion of their grandchildren. It's not like they had a choice. It was either become a christian or die. And a lot of people chose to become christians. And then their great grandchildren are religious because it's all they've known their entire life. And their great-grandchildren are religious because it's the only thing they've known all their life. And if they weren't christian, then they'd be persecuted for not being christian.

You should read your history books, christians have been nasty to non-christians for over a thousand years.

Are you going to suddenly one day stop being a christian if you find out the only reason your family is christian is because your ancestors would've been killed if they hadn't converted? Because I'm pretty sure you'd still be christian, and would make up some excuse as to why you'd remain a christian, if you found out the only reason why you're ancestors are christian is because they would've been tortured to death if they hadn't converted. Even though them being tortured to death would've happened say 700 years ago. And that's why people are still christian, even if their ancestors weren't originally christian before they were forced to convert. Because it's all they've known their whole life, and they want to continue living that way, instead of stopping and thinking about it, and considering a different way of life.

It's scary how little logic and thought went into that reply.

Absolutely... you want to silence the opposition. You can't handle a little debate because in the light of logic your mythology fails you. Given you can't beat us... you want to silence us.

But never as a result of their lack of a belief. No Atheist has ever killed anyone as a tenant of being Atheist. Never.

It doesn't... but you're the only one saying it. But I agree it doesn't make sense. It may be the dumbest most nonsensical thing I've ever read.

What I am saying (not implying) is that I find it humorous that a bunch of folks who don't believe in a god come here to belittle others who believe. Post here or don't but I would think enlightened folks wouldn't want to continue to debate with a bunch of simpletons who believe in supposedly crazy stuff.

I mean I understand debates between Catholics and Baptists or Muslims and Christians but for a bunch of folks who believe in nothing to hang out where folks like myself want to brainwash you and make you slaves..............

You said... "yet you don't see me on Islamic forums" as if we are posting on a Christian Forum. This is NOT a Christian forum.

Do you prefer, "At one time a significant portion of the 'educated' world thought the Earth was motionless at the center of the universe"?

Other religions require real dedication.

I know I know... those aren't real Christians and I don't know what I'm talking about... M'kay.

All I can say is your argument sucks because you don't make one. You just hurl insults.

My argument is true. No other religion requires less of its adherents than Christianity. And no other religion goes as easy on its adherents for failing to follow doctrine. This is why it's so popular. Because it's easy. Good old Jim and Martha have been married for 20 years... but OOPS! Jim has been banging his secretary for the last two years. IT'S OK GUYS! Just repent and everything is just dandy! Go talk to a muslim about dedication to their religion.

So I guess you are a Catholic, since half the world's Christians are.

Will you be ready to convert, though, when the Islamic people reproduce their way into the majority spot?

Yep, I guess that is one way to view it. A bit myopic but hey no surprises really.
Yep being a Christian is a walk in the park. I guess that is why people in other countries continue to get slaughtered because of it. God no doubt forgives but doesn't remove the consequences for the sin. Your right, Muslims are dedicated. I guess they missed the memo in the ME about how easy Christianity is and you call is stupid.... ....
You are good at diversions though.

Ah so if you repent and are forgiven you're still going to be punished?

I already stated what was hard about it - people dying for their faith and facing persecution. Not that Christians have a lock on it but they do suffer, just not so much in the US.....yet.

I didn't say that (there you are with putting words in my mouth). What I said was God forgives sin bu doesn't necessarily remove the consequence of our sin. Nice spin you put on it though. I'd give an analogy but you would just think it was wrong.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. Not gonna happen if you subscribe to Biblical teaching. If you don't, I guess you could move up to MI in the Islamic enclave and see if you like it?

One thing you've proven, it's easier to be an atheist than to comprehend and live the Bible.

But they have certainly killed millions on the order of their atheist bosses.

No doubt we'll start splitting hairs and parsing sentences now.

Atheism makes up 2.32% of the world's population, while Christianity makes up 33.32%.

93.5% of the world's population follows one religion or another and believes in a higher power.

2.32% (atheists) do not.

Can so few be right and so many be wrong?

They're not what JB would call Christian either. He's the only True Scotsman.
