Use: Conservative/Quick note to Ace
I just came across your recent note to me on your user talk page. As a result, I updated the RW article.
With that being said, the atheist movement is dead (See: Decline of the atheist movement).
On March 15, 2024, Frontier Partners International reported concerning global atheism: "Simultaneously, atheism, which once saw a peak around 1970 with 165 million adherents, is on the decline. The current growth trend for atheism is -0.12 percent, with their number falling from 147 million in 2020 to 146 million in 2024."[1] See also: Desecularization and Global atheism statistics
On the other hand, Christianity is seeing some better than expected growth which surprised even some missiologists (See: Growth of Christianity).
In addition, Christian organizations have been significantly more successful than atheist organizations as far as evangelizing via the internet (see: Internet evangelism: Christians vs. atheists and Christian internet evangelism and Major Christian websites).
Also, consider the information below:

Ace, you still haven't donated $17,000 to a Christian relief organization of my choice using the protocol that I specified. And given that atheist movement horse is dead, the global atheism is dying, and internet atheism is dying as well, while the Christendom horse and internet Christendom horse are both galloping with significant alacrity, you are not giving me any incentive to debate some very little known atheist on a dying atheist/agnostic advocating website (which I highly suspect would shut down the debate when you are badly losing the debate). I would rather engage in practicing my faith which includes evangelizing to open-minded people.
On the other hand, should you pony up the $17,000 to a Christian relief organization of my choice using the protocol that I specified, I will debate you at Conservapedia.

While I do not see you as being an enemy, when RationalWiki permabanned me, the fact remains that RationalWiki broke its own rules as far as a vote to ban a member - namely 66% of editors voting must vote to ban. And that 66% threshold was never met. That is why I highly suspect that the debate would be shut down at RationalWiki when you are badly losing the debate which invariably would happen given the weakness of the atheist worldview.
