I thought a five-year-old would believe anything you told him.

However, there is a lot of work left to do, as 46.6% of Icelanders say they are religious. From the article:
And look at that. Atheists and Christians among young people is split 50/50.
How cool is that!

I think the U.S. Census Bureau says 50% have No ' home ' church membership
More church doors close and few open.
When asked why people leave?
They felt neglected or wounded.
So, just as Acts 20:29-30 mentioned false clergy would be fleecing the flock of God.
As in ancient Babylon the water of the river were diverted so the army could walk right in and capture Babylon.
So, ' religious waters ' ( people - Revelation 17:1 B, 15; Isaiah 57:20 ) are dying up spiritually before the time of Matthew 25:31-33 begins.
None of the ' cooling ' off is proving the Bible as wrong, but rather that the Bible is right.
We are nearing the ' final signal ', so to speak, when ' they ' ( powers that be ) will be saying 'Peace and Security ' as a precursor to the coming great tribulation of Revelation 7:14 before Jesus, as Prince of Peace, will usher in global Peace on Earth among people of goodwill.

Only our bodies become worm food.

If God can give us life in the first place, then he surely can give us life again.

We are born without our own will - we die when our time is up, without our own will, and we will be raised from the dead to stand accountable for our time spent in the world - without our own will.

1 - We could do absolutely nothing to stop our own birth.

2 - We are unable to do anything to stop our death when our time is up and the last bell rings.

3 - And we won't be able to do anything to stop it when God raises us from the dead, and gives us life again - just as he did it for the first time.

All these three great events are out of control. There are some parts and/or incidents in our lives that are also beyond our control - BUT - for the most part of our lives, we have a choice.

We should use our intelligence and logic to do our own research, and make choices based on free will - and in the end, we will be responsible for our choices.

This is how the basic thought process of religious faith works.

And you are at Liberty to put a stop on your thought process and close your mind to the possibility of thinking beyond your ideaological realm which ends at becoming worm food.

You make the assertion there is a god, without evidence beyond belief. That is faith, but not fact or necessarily truth. Those of faith are free to believe what they do, it just doesn't make it real. After all, Zeus was once thought of the most powerful god, as was Thor, and Quetzalcoatl and hundreds of others. Muslims believe in paradise, Vikings in Valhalla. Both concepts reflect the culture the religions were indigenous to.

So, you may believe or assert a god, but no one has provided any evidence of the existence of one outside of their holy books. Those that make extraordinary claims about an issue must provide extraordinary proof. Provide it, and rational, secular thinking atheist will weigh that evidence against the claim. The minds are not closed to real, tangible evidence.

There is in Germany too. Yet the result is different between both places. So your correlation is meaningless.

Even compared to the usual tosh you manufacture and make up, that is egregious nonsense. At this point on the forum you have done little but show that your abject hatred of atheists and atheism does nothing more than to fuel you spewing fantastical and empty nonsense in order to soap box that agenda to others.
