Essay: The cherry atop the glorious sundae of Christian victory over Western atheism

There are so many victories in the history of Christianity.

Life is truly a bowl of scrumptious cherries for Christians!

Please see:

*Growth of Christianity

*Christian joy, atheist despair and the good news of Christianity

Previously, I wrote the essay at Christianity and its margin of victory over atheism.

This essay is a follow-up to that essay.

The sundae of Christian victory

Christianity is the world's largest religion and it has seen tremendous growth over its 2000-year history.

Hong Kong Christians at Gateway Camp. In 2005, there were four times as many non-Western World Christians as there were Western World Christians.

In terms of its geographic distribution, Christianity is the most globally diverse religion. Christianity has recently seen explosive growth outside the Western World. In 2000, there were twice as many non-Western Christians as Western Christians. In 2005, there were four times as many non-Western Christians as there were Western World Christians. There are now more non-Western missionaries than Western missionaries. See also: Global scope of indigenous evangelical Christianity evangelism

Phillip Jenkins published the book The Next Christendom: The Coming of Global Christianity.

Chuck Colson, citing the work of Jenkins, writes:

“

As Penn State professor Philip Jenkins writes in The Next Christendom: The Coming of Global Christianity, predictions like Huntingtons betray an ignorance of the explosive growth of Christianity outside of the West. For instance, in 1900, there were approximately 10 million Christians in Africa. By 2000, there were 360 million. By 2025, conservative estimates see that number rising to 633 million. Those same estimates put the number of Christians in Latin America in 2025 at 640 million and in Asia at 460 million. According to Jenkins, the percentage of the worlds population that is, at least by name, Christian will be roughly the same in 2050 as it was in 1900. By the middle of this century, there will be three billion Christians in the world -- one and a half times the number of Muslims. In fact, by 2050 there will be nearly as many Pentecostal Christians in the world as there are Muslims today.

The delicious cherry atop the sundae of Christian victory over Western atheism

The excerpt from the 2018 speech that the ex-president of the American Atheists gave, which is featured to the right, is the cherry atop the glorious sundae of complete and utter Christian victory over Western atheism.

Kudos to David Silverman, the ex-president of the American Atheists organization who was fired after an alleged scandal.

Numerous atheists have declared that the "atheist movement is dead" or that it is dying. In 2019, a writer at Freethought Blogs wrote: "Last month I looked at some postmortems of the atheist movement...". See also: Decline of the atheist movement and Morale of the atheist movement

On the Atheists for Liberty website the atheist Thomas Sheedy wrote in an article entitled Ten years after Elevatorgate | What we should learn from our past mistakes:

“

Over the past eight years, I have seen: Millions of dollars once belonging to world-renowned atheist organizations were lost. Conferences, some once having numbers in the hundreds, if not thousands, dead. Some of the most horrific and superstitious belief systems defended in the name of wokeness Organizers of events facing real harassment because they dared to have “politically incorrect” speakers, speakers who were seen as ordinary, non-sexist, New Atheist types just a few years prior The movement’s professionalism fade away in the name of this infiltration Ex Muslims disregarded by movement organizers in the United States A friend’s life, once respected as a bold, national figure in the movement, is destroyed by false allegations lobbed against him. He nearly committed suicide.

”

At the 2018 American Atheists convention, the ex-president of the American Atheists organization David Silverman declared:

“

It is a hard time to be an atheist activist. This has affected us. And it has affected our community... ...it has really affected us. We are suffering a level of defeatism that I have never seen before... We feel the loss. And we feel like we have lost. We feel like we lost the election... We see this cascade of attack coming down at us over and over from all different directions and we feel like it's over. I have heard so many times it makes me sick. It makes me sad. It feels like we lost. The apathy that follows. It doesn't matter. We can't win anyways. It's useless to fight. This apathy is infecting us. It's hurting us. And people are reacting to each other now. And so that is causing a division. Lots and lots of division in our movement. Hard, bad division... And that has resulted in a splintering and factioning of the movement that I have never seen before and none of us have. In other words, we're in a bad situation and it's getting worse.

”

In 2017, the atheist activist Lee Moore declared about American atheist organizations:

“

If you look at the major atheist groups right now, like the national groups, the ones that are doing the real activist work... They are not bringing in the kind of donations they used to. Most of them are starved for cash. They're downsizing left and right. Because people aren't just giving like they used to. And I talked to a lot of the major donors out there and they said, "Well, we're kind of tired of seeing the atheist community just fight amongst itself and not really get anything done. We'd rather not give money if we don't think it's going to go somewhere."

Every internet atheist is a pathetic, uninfluential loser that God Almighty has smited

I have a message for every internet atheist: You're a pathetic, uninfluential loser who has been totally defeated by God Almighty. The facts are undeniable. The data is uncontrovertible. See: Internet atheism is down in traffic

For example, the data below shows that Christendom is very influential on the internet while internet atheists largely preach to the atheist choir and are therefore uninfluential and unimportant. In short, a defeated laughingstock on the internet.

Online atheists, I am laughing at the "superior atheist intellects" who couldn't persuade and market their way out of a wet, paper bag.

And the margin of victory for Christendom over atheists is widening on the internet - not growing smaller. See: Internet evangelism: Christians vs. atheists

Oh, internet atheists! Feel the sting! You're such pathetic, uninfluential losers!

Internet atheism and obesity

The 20% of overweight people who are able to achieve permanent weight loss typically report doing it through engaging in high levels of physical activity, eating a low-calorie diet, eating breakfast regularly, self-monitoring weight, and maintaining a consistent eating pattern across weekdays and weekends.

Overweight individuals may need to decrease their computer and internet usage.

Godly, wise, submissive, Christian wives and all natural sundaes

Godly and wise Christian wives use all natural ice cream for their sundaes. No ultra-processed foods added.

Sundaes prepared by lovely, Christian wives who practice wifely submission are delicious.

They are much appreciated by loving Christian husbands who love their wives like Christ loves the church.

And because Christian men have machismo they work off the calories via hard work and exercise.
