    wow, that is awesome, thanks for sharing that Penguin.

    even though there are many amusing sections, the overall tone of it was actually quite realisitc and chock full of good advice. it's basically cautioning any eager and zealous Christian who wishes to convert an atheist (or non-believer) to think twice and really self-assess before jumping in with the sharks! though at heart it really is about converting someone, it encourages the process of respectful dialogue.

    If you feel strong in your own faith, then do study opposing views. You may be surprised at how many of your favorite arguments are past their use-by date (such as Creationist arguments against evolution). The more uninformed you seem to the atheist, the more you play into the stereotype that religion is born of ignorance.

    Penguin, where do you find this stuff.
    I can't believe that anyone would think they could re-infect(re-convert) an atheist.
    Although I think that FL was here on that quest.

    I'm trying to remember... I think that one I found by chance. IIRC, it came up in a Google search because of one of the Bible verses in the article.
