When my kids were in scouting, there was a cost for summer camp. We paid it.
Every single year, the scout leaders handed out the applications for reduced costs or subsidized fees. They were so underprivileged kids could still go and enjoy camp, some funds were set aside. The most 'Christain' parents were quick to apply, no matter their financial status. One told me that if we didn't suck up the funds, then the 'wrong sort' of kids would be bunking at scout camp with our kids. It was a moral imperative to lie about our finances to prevent liberals from ruining camp.
 
"My best friend and I enjoy each other's company, but I'm a Christian and he says he's an atheist"

"My best friend and I enjoy each other's company, but I say I'm a Christian and he's an atheist"

What is the actual difference please

Billy G is such a psycho. Watch his old stuff for a big laugh.

When you get past the preconceptions of what "christianity" is, and look instead at the behavior of "christians," it seems that the label is a justification to remain a sinner because the invisible spaceman is gonna love you no matter how disgusting a prick you are. You will always be forgiven. And there's a lot of company. It's the opposite of what you think it is.

I think it explains its popularity better than anything else. If you can imagine having a system whereby no matter your degree of murder, robbery, theft, hypocrisy, etc., you name it, your okay with yourself because you're forgiven. It's all good. I think that explains why the KKK is Christian. And on top of that it's easy and convenient, nothing like the religions of old.

Praying for God to soften the hearts of atheist friends is the most important thing Christian can do for non-believers, says famed evangelist the Rev. Billy Graham, who also encourages believers to be a "witness to Jesus' peace and joy."

In a question-and-answer column published Monday on the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association website, Graham was asked what Christians can do to encourage their atheist friends to seek salvation in Jesus Christ.

"My best friend and I enjoy each other's company, but I'm a Christian and he says he's an atheist. I've tried to argue with him, but he just laughs and says I ought to grow up and forget about God. How can I win him over?" the person asked.

Wouldn't it be more productive to pray for the softening of atheists brains? Isn't there where the problem lies?
 
When I was a child, my parents used to drag me to the Billy Graham Crusades in New York City. The way he manipulated people was to turn down the lights, and then speak softly while promising these poor pathetic people in the audience that they would live forever in paradise if they would just come forward and believe. There was a choir in the background singing softly, "Just as I am." In other words, he appealed to the emotions.

I kind of doubt that would work on atheists. It took me until the age of 18 to realize it was all bullshit. Ironically, I was attending a fundamentalist college when I stopped believing that Christianity had the answers. And guess what? One of Graham's daughters was a class mate of mine. Attending that school was torture, so I transferred out after one semester. Billy's bullshit didn't work then and I can't imagine any atheist being taken in by it now.
 
Back when I first got on to the internet, when usenet was king, in alt.religion.atheism, we had a steady trickle of Christians witnessing to us poor, uneducated atheists. Occasionally they used the line, "I'll pray for you". I used to remind them of Mark 11:23, praying to move mountains etc.

23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

And challenged them to cause me to be a Christian through the power of miracle working ability guaranteed to Christians. They could if they wished, get their entire church to pray for me if necessary.

And to this day I am still an atheist. I doubt ol' Billy and friends can do any better. Very few of this type had any stomach to debate me on the issue.
 
One day, according to the bible, you will cease to be an atheist.
...and that mountain will be moved. The prayer answered.

That is true although there are more options than atheist and believer, there is also oblivion. There are a hell of a lot of people that die atheists and with death all thought dies for both theists and atheist.

Can't reason with someone who believes they can predict the future, can I? By the way, that's exactly the type of psychologically manipulative bullshit you religionists try to pull. We know better.

That day is the Greek Kalends when the cocklicranes come. But the Greeks had no Kalends, and there are no cocklicranes. That day is never.
