I specified as a world market share christianity is shrinking and I am correct.

I am already being preached to, or I would be if my door didnt close. I even had two strange men in suits come over the other day and ask if they could bless the house. I had the self control to refrain from telling them that they were idiots but I think my facial expression may have given it away.

Is this still on track with the OP though?

Quote by: Helio Prime Are you missing the point? Atheists don't want religion brought up in funerals because it offends them. So were all supposed to follow their brand of secularism in order to be respectful. It's the same tone they use in every aspect of life. remove religion from the public realm and make it secular in order to promote equality. Well welcome to the world of those who are not atheists or agnostics, the world isn't meant to be equal.

One, if i go to a funeral of a friend, and he is religious, i'm fine with listening to the religious things that go on. I keep my opinion to myself. Where we draw the line is when a family member or friend dies and some christians walks up and goes "he's burning in hell for sinning!" We are generally ok with christian practices as long as they don't involve themselves in our practices.

Sorry, from what I've seen, Islam and atheism seem to be the ones spreading most rapidly.

[Halofan48]

Christians are not "better" then atheists. It is simply that they are incorrect.

Will, unless your actually going to provide actual evidence that it is completely correct (the bible doesn't count as proof of the bible, and neither does you simply saying "it's god's will" BTW) then stop. If you must preach to people, do so elsewhere please.

Not on here you're not. Clear?

;p Keep a casket on your porch like I do and they don't bother you.

Quote by: helioprime So select atheists are allowed to claim they lead better lives, but I have just sit meek and keep quiet?

It's fine if you say Christians are superior to atheists, just expect atheists to roll their eyes just as you do when they say they are superior to you.

They say the same about you. Both sides can say it, but it doesn't change anything.

Quote by: walrus Many Christians do seem to be obsessive about sex and other people’s sexual behaviour, albeit from totally negative viewpoint, why can’t they live and let live. As far as I’m concerned there are far more important things than revelling in the role of a voyeur.

I never understood why Christians (especially American ones) are so uptight about sex.

You still don't get it! When one begins to believe the Absolute Truth, you will see the Effects.

Wrong, Christianity is taking off in Asia, particularly China.

It is dying in Europe, because of all the political correctness.

You should have let them, God would have protected your house if you had.

Well, it depends on what "Religion" they are associated with. What were they?

You will have to ask Marconius that, I'm guessing Evangelists.
Despite being RC, I'm a bit of a fan of the Methodists myself.

Again, this is an unsupported opinion and can easily be considered preaching. If you wish to debate, don't preach, provide arguments and support your arguments without saying "it's right because it's god's will/ it's in the bible/ because it is truth. Those aren't supporting your arguments. You are just preaching when you see them. If you cannot provide an argument with support that doesn't include the examples above or thing like those examples, don't debate.

Lol, that is so obviously a false study, anmon. If that were true, all of the country would be christian right now. Obviously, it's not. It was probably a false study trying to make people think christianity is spreading. Also, if being accepting of women/homosexuals/ and other ethnicities is why christianity is dying in Europe, what does that say about christianity?

No, (It may be preaching) yet it is incorperating Infinitely Correct Truth. You will only be able to Fully Believe it if you Believe it.

Will, for the final time, This is a debate, Not a place for you to preach that Christianity is always correct. If you refuse to provide arguments and support them with actual evidence, do not debate and leave this thread. Thank You.

You consistently cease to have what you state as to be necessary - an "open-mind."

[Halofan48]

I accept that it is possible that I am wrong. But, since this is a debate, you need to actually provide evidence of everything you say, not just preach that the bible is always true.

If you accept Jesus Christ as your Personal Lord and Savior and ask for Forgiveness from your sins, further living through what the Bible states, thus becoming a Christian, you will See the Absolute Truth.

Do not post nonsense to the thread. This isn't profound, it's pointless. Unless you can contribute substance to the topic of the thread, I suggest you excuse yourself from further posting to it.

Your job, as a Christian, is to sell Christianity. Convince people that it is right. You need to speak their language and explain in more detail.

No we don't. He didn't make it that easy. If it were that simple, all Christians would know everything, but we don't. That's something we have to accept.

How is it nonsense? It seems that I am able to simply reverse your assumptions right back, with the same effect.

It is not to "sell Christianity," It is to Spread the Good Word of The Lord.

Spreading the Good Word only is useful if you can convert people. And you really aren't spreading the good word. More just throwing fliers at people without responding.
