Quite a few people at CF have told their stories about how they were once Christians here debating atheists, and ending up being liberated from their religious beliefs and joining those atheists.

Yes, its called atheism evangelism, atheism is their religion of choice. I am always stunned that atheists want to take a person who has faith and finds joy and comfort within it and people actively try to remove that... its evil at its core.
That said, unless its a new Christian, they were probably lukewarm to begin with and just as often, others, may really find their faith when challenged.
Like I have said before, when atheists get their way and secularism moves in, there will be a void and something unchristian will fill it. You can only pray to your non-god/gov't that it is not Islam or radical Hinduism bc they slaughter those that believe differently. Jews first, Christian, pagans and muslims who believe differently... they are coming to your town soon enough.
....Take a real good look at what is occurring in Europe with Islam on the rise. It will be the predominant religion in 50 years, Russia also. Russia's state sponsored religion is a sham of Christianity much like the RCC was centuries ago when it was more of a political force than a move of God. These people are also dangerous to non-believers.
You see in the UK bc Christianity was the predominate religion it is not protected. Christians who challenge Islam in the street are arrested for causing a commotion, while they allow muslims to riot bc they are protected.
At least in the states where there is real freedom of religion (some good some not so good), there is freedom. When they silence Christians and they will because as a whole we are basically nice people, non-confrontational and cowards, we will let them.
If Christian wanted to change the world, we'd only have to stand as one voice and we'd get things done but whenever Christians stand in political power we cease to be the church... another force moves in and that is when religion becomes dangerous. It must always be free to choose... and to allow others to make their own choices. the problem we have is when the law of the land forces Christians to participate in their sin. Our children are taught about sex before marriage and abortion is offered, even if parents wouldn't allow it. Scripture is defined as hate speech and we can be arrested... or have our businesses closed down for not catering to sin. This is nothing compared to what is coming.... I'm old, I will probably be dead but IDK could be much sooner than we think.
I want atheist to not look at what they desire but look at what is really happening... thanks, andrea
