So, a church here is compiling a list of “the lost.” via /r/atheism

Submitted June 13, 2018 at 02:05PM by Campaschristmas (Via reddit https://ift.tt/2y68fVz) So, a church here is compiling a list of “the lost.”

I just learned that there will be a revival in one of the neighboring towns in September, and the organizer is adamant that the sole purpose of the event is to have area churches and their members submit names of people they know who need saving to be compiled in one big list.

For what purpose could he possibly need a list like that? If he were to say some generic prayer to cover them all, he wouldn’t need the names. After all, God should know who they are. In fact, God should be able to magically “inspire” the names into his head anyway so he can write them down.

Regardless, I’m not convinced some do-gooder who knows me won’t put my name down. I’m not looking forward to the Facebook messages and guerrilla-like conversion attempts at the supermarket that are inevitably incoming.

Update: Child who pretends around friends via /r/atheism

Okay folks, my husband and I had a talk with my 8-year-old to find out how much proselytizing was going on at her friends’ house. The good news is, it doesn’t appear to be much, if at all.

According to her, when she told me previously that she “pretends to believe,” she was referring to a time when her friend showed her a cross decoration at the house and my daughter replied, “Oh, that’s pretty.” We reassured her that you can still appreciate religious things, but that doesn’t mean you’re religious or “pretending” to like it.

Also, according to her, only the oldest two kids have mentioned religious things in passing to her, like they told her to pray for one of our cats when he was sick, but the parents have said nothing.

In the meantime, we gave her a Bible 101, and that was much harder to do. My daughter knew less about religion than I thought she did — for example, she couldn’t even tell us what a god was in the first place. We tried to be as diplomatic as possible, but ended up defining god as “what people use to explain things they can’t explain,” and showed her how, as society evolves and advances, there are fewer and fewer reasons to think “god did it,” even though some people still think it today.

She thought the Noah story was ludicrous and confused the “ark” with the other ark in Indiana Jones (haha), which evolved into a talk about Moses and the 10 Commandments. She questioned why people would need to be told not to kill and steal, which was a good sign.

When we got to the part about Jesus’ purpose, she said “Here we go again! God’s going to kill everyone!” That was quite fun, but she didn’t seem to take the “real” story any better. She knows where babies come from, but not how they’re made at the moment. We skipped the virgin part and just said God waved his hand over Mary and “snap!” She was pregnant!

At some point, my daughter left to go to the bathroom and my husband said, “You know, coming out and saying this stuff now sounds absolutely insane.” I agreed. We actually made an attempt to make it all sound as believable as possible — not just to be fair, but to be fair to her friends that do believe it. It still sounded so dumb that I couldn’t believe I was hearing the stuff coming out of our mouths.

I’m not sure if she retained anything at all. Where do we go from here? Do we keep telling her this stuff until she retains it or just leave it be? She scoffed quite a bit during our talk, so I would hate to reinforce that, just in case she doesn’t realize it would be rude to do the same to her friends.
