declaring that atheism should overthrow christianity isn't equivalent to conspiring to overthrow it
i think that there should be a utopian populist one world government, does that mean i'm a part of a conspiracy to overthrow the US government?
we want religion dead, sure, but we're not enacting a particular conspiracy to overthrow it.

Madness,
I know that you too are an intelligent guy.
Please don't make me say it again. I have conceded as the Op, that there is no conspiracy. I know that you can read and comprehend. Now, please let's let this thread die. Okay??
There is another thread in CIR on the concept that athiests are trying to overthrow Christianity. I dont believe they are. I believe that certain pagan rites and sects are trying to overthrow Christianity or infiltrate it and turn it to thier tack or methods. They are and have been remarkably successful in this attempt. However I do not credit Athiests with such an attempt. Not possible. IF you think it through....by doctrine and dogma..it is not possible for Athiests to be good counterfitters. Pagans yes..Athiests no. Athiests tend to be to anti Christian to be as effective as Paganism in turning and destroying Christianity. Paganism has been far more effective in this type of seduction
By they way..for Athiests reading this..it is not intended to insult or offend.. merely state my opinion based on the history with which I am familiar.
Polimeni theorizes that humor and spirituality emerged together, perhaps as ways for humans to relieve stress, communicate and make social connections in lieu of grooming, roughhousing and other, more direct means used by our primate ancestors. Given that the basis of humor may conceivably be rooted in the same cognitive machinery that allows animals to play and tease, it is certainly possible that the cognitive processes that allow spirituality may have piggy-backed on this humor cognitive substructure," he said.

Somehow I don't think this thread would die, if we shot it with an AK-47!
Maybe the Catholics should douse it with Holy water;
The Atheists should call in Richard Dawkins or Sam Harris;
The Christians should stand in prayer agreement;
The pagans should perform a ritual;
The mods should perform an exorcism.
Ta-da!

Your words tell me NOT only is the conspiracy walking and living among us, but when the days come that accusing a sinner takes more risk for ridicule than the risk of shame for the one committing it.

Did it ever occur to you,, to just shut up.
Don't get me wrong sizzle, I said it that way to get your attention. These posts may not end and whether you want them to or not, there is someone out there, one of these posts is speaking to.
They may be doing more good then just slapping our ego around in what we think is our need to be right or to defend that need when it is in jeopardy etc
Otherwise, in the words of John McCaine,, I don't care if we are here for a hundred years arguing LOL

And you will find that Christians who have enough backbone to at least call it what the Bible says it is, a Sin, are labeled as intolerant. Atheism and secular humanism are behind this "politically correct" movement.
