I'd say that the reason is that you have a niece who decided to be a man. (Or a nephew who decided to be a woman, your wording is a bit ambiguous). God must really hate your family, dear!

I'm sorry I used the wrong word. I meant to say Nephew! Just a grammar mistake. My brother has a son just to clarify.

If every atheist read it, we would see the end of their folly.

You'd really think it'd be that easy?

Re: How to make an atheist cry

The following story has been known to make atheists cry!

An atheist in godless England went to London Zoo with his 5 year old son. In his hand he held a Bible. When they reached the chimp exhibit, the atheist said to his son "Look at the chimpanzees. See how similar they are to us? That's because we have a common ancestor, son. Evolution is true and God is not."

The atheist tore a page out of the Bible and threw it into the chimp exhibit. A chimp quickly swung over to the Bible page and ate it. "See how the chimp ate that Bible page? If God really existed, he wouldn't have allowed the chimp to eat it."

The atheist and his son continued to visit every animal exhibit, and the atheist father did the same thing at each and every one, one page for each animal. Finally, only one page of the Bible remained and only one animal remained to be visited.

They came up to the aquarium where a big octopus was laying on a rock. The atheist ripped out the last Bible page and dropped it into the aquarium. Suddenly, the octopus grabbed the Bible page and began to come up, out of the water!

The atheist and his son were so surprised their mouths fell agape! The octopus looked the father in the eye, and with an inhuman voice began to read from the page! " Psalm 14:1! The fool hath said in his heart," There is no God!" The atheist stood there, speechless! The octopus began to speak again "Do you think that because we animals ate pages of the Bible, it means that God is not real? Look how much of a fool you are! Do you not know that the Word of God is nourishment to all who partake of it! You fool!".

The atheist dropped to his knees and began to cry. The octopus spoke again "Accept Christ, and your sins will be absolved, sinner". With a tear-stained face, the atheist said in a shaking voice: "I do! I accept Christ and God and the Holy Spirit! I was such a fool for not believing!".

The former-atheist did the sign of the cross and stood up. His knees were still shaking but a bright glow surrounded him as he converted to Christianity.

Dear Friend.
I Found your whole story totally moving until the atheist made the sign of the cross. Was he a Catlick? This worries me greatly.

I doubt this would bring Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris or indeed myself to tears. Tears of laughter maybe

How about you wait until you encounter a talking octopus and then let us know how you feel?

Re: How to make an atheist cry

octopuses cannot talk in the same dialect that humans can, octopuses are actually intelligent creatures that communicate woth each other using a variety of signals. Their intelligence is down to evolution, not a creator.

Also, if by some amazing coincidence that I did encounter a talking octopus, I would record the footage and send it to a zoololgy lab for the whole world to marvel at. How come a camera is never around when 'God' decides to show his face?

You haven't seen it, so impossible? Logic fail.

...Their intelligence is down to evolution, not a creator...

Are you going to stop complaining about people claiming stuff is true, while offering no evidence? Yeah, I don't think so.

...How come a camera is never around when 'God' decides to show his face?

Go look up "proof" and "faith". If you have one, you don't need the other.

Re: How to make an atheist cry

It is not impossible, i'm still waiting for when something like this happens. If it has happened, it would be all over the internet by now.

Evolution has been proved time and time again by the fossil record. And it is not up to the non believer to prove if somethinb is true or not.

Faith is believing something without evidence, taking a picture is one of the highest forms of evidence

What is a fossil record and how does it prove anything?

Who made up this preposterous rule that the non-believer has no responsibilities but can demand things from others? You?

[GoldenShower]

Re: How to make an atheist cry

The fossil record is the fossils preserved in the earth of animals that died millions of years ago. This proves evolution as it showed how organisms changed over time by looking at fossils from different times.

I did not make up this rule, and it is not a rule as such. I can't prove that God doesn't exist, but you can't prove he does. But if you go by your logic then you can't prove the flying spaghetti monster does not exist but I can't prove he does so it is logical to assume he does not exist

Because everyone knows that what you see on the internet is the truth.

...Evolution has been proved time and time again by the fossil record...

Or: God created the world 6,020 years ago, with all the fossils in place to be found by non-believers in order to trick them into going to Hell. Go ahead, prove that wrong.

...And it is not up to the non believer to prove if somethinb is true or not...

Yes, it is, if you want to convince the True Christians™ of anything.

...Faith is believing something without evidence, taking a picture is one of the highest forms of evidence

Ima just leave this here:

Re: How to make an atheist cry

Because everybody knows that what is written in a book written a few hundred years ago, badly translated from hebrew to english containing a preposterous myth about the origin of the universe is truth.

Young earth creationism has been proved wrong by many things: carbon dating, rock dating, tectonic plates, fossils, the moon and even the Earth's orbit. Many fossils were found be famous fossil hunter Mary Anning, who was in fact, a Christian.

It is up to you to prove your creator is real, to suggest otherwise is ignorant.

Yes, that picture proves that Putin did ride a bear, or was photoshopped on to one which proves how far technolgy has come in the last few million years

Badly translated? Please supply your qualifications to critique the committee's work, and your corrections to their version of the original Hebrew, Aramaic, Proto-Syriac, and Koine Greek.

...Young earth creationism has been proved wrong by many things: carbon dating, rock dating, tectonic plates, fossils, the moon and even the Earth's orbit...

Or (as I've already said, and you rudely ignored), God placed all of that evidence in order to fool people into going to Hell.

...Many fossils were found be famous fossil hunter Mary Anning, who was in fact, a Christian...

If she believed anything but that God created the universe, the world, and all life forms, and did it in six days, then... she wasn't a Christian.

Matthew 7:21 "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."

Paradise Nazi says, "No paradise for you!".

...It is up to you to prove your creator is real, to suggest otherwise is ignorant...

Didn't I already cover the difference between proof and faith? Yeah, I did, and oh you ignored that, too. I should really stop being so ignorant, huh?

...Yes, that picture proves that Putin did ride a bear, or was photoshopped on to one which proves how far technolgy has come in the last few million years

Says the guy who was insisting that "taking a picture is one of the highest forms of evidence"? But that was over half an hour ago, so it doesn't count, I guess.
