Why Do Atheists Feel The Need To Let Everyone Know That They Don't Worship God?

[goodlife]

All people are inclined to worship someone or something, even if it is one’s own self.

Goodlife, do our own research and don't hide behind evasive wording We all know that 'some' in reality means 'hardly any' or 'more than one....possibly''

I am an atheist - let me open with that.

I have not been approached by a JW down here in the SW. "Thank God!"

Prove your statement, goodlife.

Actually, in your case, I would surmise that there was only 1 JW in your congregation, you. God wouldn't be there as there isn't one; it's a manipulative figment of manipulation designed to control fellow man and explain the unexplainable historically....

@Goodlife Ahh ok, thanks for the clarification. So of those 700 a day that you claim, what proportion would be atheist according to your source? Any muslims? Any Jews? Is this an estimated global estimate? If so,from which continent are most of the converts coming?

I reject that figure as propaganda though, unless you have any independent evidence to support it.

A quarter of a million converts a year is simply unbelieveable

Goodlife -

At what point do you start to doubt what Jehovah’s Witnesses say about your religion? For instance, if it was claimed by a Jehovah’s Witnesses that a million Muslims a day were converting to your faith, would you simply believe it to be true?

Has it ever crossed your mind that some people in your faith might not be entirely honest about such things? Are you aware that it is common practice amongst certain 'minor' religious groups to claim that their numbers are growing at an enormous rate even if they're not or even if they're actually shrinking? For example, the Scientologists are forever claiming that their numbers are growing at an extraordinary rate despite all evidence to the contrary.

Please can you provide us with some actual evidence of the '700 per day' claim? And by evidence, I don't mean an anonymous quote from someone on the Watchtower website.

Actually do show us the Watchtower claim as well as proper proof - we want to see how outrageous it is and then the degree to which your Holy Beloved Brainwashing Officers contravene the Ten Commandments, especially "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour."

Thanks for your assistance in this
