Re: Why I didn't become an atheist
All christians I have known, especially the ones that took one of those no-sex-before-marriage vows, have had sex before marriage. Heck, even one who wouldn't stop telling me how sexual immorality would get me to hell ended up pregnant. So, obviously christianity is not responsible for keeping a person "clean" in the manner that you speak of.

Re: Why I didn't become an atheist
I'm sorry if what I am about to say comes across as... heck, I'm sorry if I sound like an asshole, but the lying for jesus award just flashed through my mind.

Honestly, you make the image of a terrified road frog more intimidating than anyone ever thought possible, but if your opposition is greeted with a kinder tone, they might be able to take in what you're saying better as opposed to when they're simply being annihilated.
Not according to my experience. Whether we beat them over the head with a hammer or be as nice as humanly possible to them they're never going to change their narrow minded way. What exactly can we say to someone that writes like "evilution sux god rules" and declares to have cosmic wisdom on all things except "you suck" as a reply?
