What can Christians do to stem Atheism or keep people in their congregations?

[??????????]

The only thing they can do is ramp up the indocrination efforts.  The more people think, the more likely they are to ditch organized religion.  Ignorance and scare tactics are the best way to keep people coming back.

Bigoted nonsense.

Yes, I know you hate religious people. Enjoy being an educated idiot.

I can only sense the hate flowing in one direction.

I don't hate you or anyone else. I just feel sorry for you being brainwashed by the liberal education system.

Awkward coming from one who was no doubt raised the religion he now practices.

Wow, you're really getting dumber as you get older, aren't you? Oh that's right, it's not popular to be conservative anything anymore, so for popularity sake you're jumping ship. I see, that's cool.

You started it off with the below comment. But that's ok, bashing religion is the "enlightened" thing to do.

But regardless, that's not a "bash" of religion, it's an objective observation of how organized religion works. 

That's nothing more then an opinion of course. No shock though coming from an atheistic liberal such as you.

It's highly amusing that atheist = liberal in StatesRights' mind.

No, try again. I said HE is a liberal. Which of course, on social matters, is true.

He does mean it in a negative way though. He has a very hostile attitude towards religion and religious individuals. I'm sorry but I didn't do a damn thing wrong by calling him out.

..you'd all be, rightfully, calling me out on it all day long.

Religion is TAUGHT through the Bible and other spiritual guides. No one holds a gun to someones head and forces them to stay a Christian once they grow into adulthood.

I understand your point completely and agree certainly. The thing is though that word as become so stigmatized to mean something negative that many folks see it as nothing but a negative word.

In your opinion, of course. 

Duh. That's what pretty much 90+% of this forum is.

I fail to see how that definition defines the word as NOT being negative.

You should teach a class on this stuff, that's one of the best instance of poisoning the well I've ever seen.  Though I guess that would go against your anti-education positions.  Which is ironically something that could have come in handy in a lot of these discussions.

I get it, you're better then me. I guess we can end this now.
