Ok so, I’m getting a little annoyed from people in real life that try to convert me to their religion by saying something like this (this is an actual argument that’s been used against me):
I prayed that our church would make a lot of money from the benefit he had. My church made a lot of money, that proves prayer works
I’m sure some of you have come across people who like to use prayer arguments. At the time I didn’t know what to say to that person because I was baffled at his ignorance. But just to help you guys out who this may happen to in the future, here is the “regression fallacy”.

I don’t use that argument because it could very easily backfire if God decides I’m being stupid.
Or the milk bottle might get angery at you.

How the hell are people allways trying to convert you. I have never ran into people who try and convert me. Unless your talking about the people that walk around handing out pamplets. Just dont respond to them.

I debate and discuss things with them. You’ll never know if what they say is worth your time if you don’t listen and consider it think before you believe what other people tell you when your money or freedom is possibly at risk.
Hell, I sat in the Catholic church yesterday during a service just because I wanted to see what it would be like. I didn’t argue with anyone in there, that would have been rude, but I enjoyed the singin, but I felt a bit embarrased when everyone said prayers and hymns and I had no idea what to say, though. The sermons were really boring. And I was expecting to be given actual bread and wine, not just some cheap ass wafer wih a plus symbol on it.

I’m laughing at mask’s joke that clearly went over your head by your response...

suck it up and move on.
If your an Atheist move on and don’t listen or even talk to “fools” or the ignorant. as long you are right. right?
I’m not forcing anyone to give up there beliefs here, I’m offering my opinion on their opinion. And if someone tries to tell me something that’s bullshit I’ll point out that it’s bullshit.
It’s ironic you use the word “fool” as if every Atheist thinks Christians are stupid, because the Bible says “The fool hath said in his heart there is no God”...
When the Bible does it, I don’t hear anyone complaining.
