Talk:Essay: "We Are atheism" campaign faces some challenges

Conservative, I can see how you link atheism to obesity and that global atheism is shrinking, however the devil's advocate in me also knows that globally there's increasing rates of obesity. In fact the United States, one of the most religious countries, is also one of the most obese. How can this be? FelixD 15:59, 5 December 2011 (EST)

Numbers

I'm not too sure about this essay because it gives atheists an opportunity to score some points. Both QE! and "We are atheism" have Facebook pages. The atheists have 3,208 likes since August. QE! has 21 since May. I'm not saying these numbers mean anything, but you better believe that atheists are going to. --ClearView2011 18:23, 5 December 2011 (EST)

First, where is this Question evolution! Facebook page that you are referring to? Second, unlike global atheism, the Question evolution! campaign is growing.[1] Third, has the Question evolution! campaign decided to pursue an aggressive Facebook campaign yet or are there other tactics/strategies being employed at this stage? Last time I checked, Rome wasn't built in a day! :) Lastly, I am not impressed by a bunch of village atheists doing some Facebook likes. Global atheism is shrinking and continues to shrink. There are 10+ major obstacles facing American Atheism and global atheism. See: 10 major obstacles for atheism Conservative 18:59, 5 December 2011 (EST)

Go to Facebook and search for "Question Evolution," and you'll find it. As for other tactics they're pursuing, you tell me. This is the only place I've heard about QE! I'd say that not promoting themselves on Facebook would be a serious mistake though. --ClearView2011 18:49, 5 December 2011 (EST)

One major difference between Western atheists and Christians is that Christians have patience and do not have the childish expectation of overnight results. I suggest reading Jesus's mustard seed parable and reading this article 2000 years of Christian increase. Did Christianity start out with 12 disciples? How big is it now?

By the way ClearView, do you fit the stereotypes found HERE? :) Conservative 19:03, 5 December 2011 (EST)

Why would I? I'm not an atheist. What's your problem that you immediately start throwing accusations at the faith of anyone who doesn't agree with you? --ClearView2011 19:09, 5 December 2011 (EST)

I just asked a simple question. You seem awful defensive. :) Conservative 19:17, 5 December 2011 (EST)
