Are you prepared? You have to give them a real reason - not just an
emotional one. However, you have to realize that many of their reasons
for being a Christian are emotional, so be ready to show atheism in an
emotionally positive light.

Think about your friendship. Are the two of you close? If not, try to
increase your friendship before attempting to change their religious
beliefs. However, do not do this merely because you are trying to score
points, or because their beliefs offend y... 阅读全帖 |

Insisting that someone worship in a religion is wrong and not effective. No
matter what your religion, one should be clearly persuaded--but not be
treated cruelly or as if they are somehow "wrong". Also be warned that in
some cultures the act of converting or conversion could be either unethical,
or - like in Saudi Arabia - usually illegal. Be prepared to be persecuted
or even killed for sharing your faith.
Consider how you would respond if someone was attempting to persuade you to

“中国官方控制的天主教教会计划任命至少七任主教，”一位教会最高官员如此说道。
中国一直以来一系列任命主教的行为，已加剧了中国与梵蒂冈的紧张关系。
中国天主教爱国会负责人刘柏年透露，这位新主教将在“吉日” 被任命，但没有给出
更多的细节。
刘柏年，现任第十一届全国政协常委、民族和宗教委员会副主任，中国天主教“一会一
团”名誉主席，山东省政协副主席。
梵蒂冈教廷一直与受北京控制的中国教会进行着艰苦的斗争。它声称，这次的任命并未
受到教皇的批准，是不正当的。
中国天主教爱国会继在中国南部广东省的城市汕头任命黄炳章为新主教后，又有了进一
步的举动。
中国已有570万基督教徒，而且人数还在不断增加，他们如果不愿忠于中国天主教爱国
会，情愿忠于教皇，就得成为“地下教会”的一份子。近日发生的一件事就证明了这一

宗教对犯罪率的影响
更加信仰基督的地方有更多的社会弊病和犯罪。这是格雷戈里。保罗在学术杂志《宗教
与社会》上发表的初步结论，这个杂志是内布拉斯加州一所教会学校的学报。
http://moses.creighton.edu/JRS/2005/2005-11.html
研究表明，基督教统治的美国南部和中西部地区，社会弊端和犯罪更严重，谋杀，性病
，死亡率更高。这项研究还表明，美国的犯罪率和基督徒比例，比其他发达世界国家都
高得多。
无法回避的现实是，基督教的教条更合适一个病态的社会。宗教狂热分子和极端主义比
毒品危害更大。
理性的人认识到基督教神话的荒谬可怜，而基督徒，尤其是福音派，或原教旨主义者，
不过是一些伪君子，用宗教作为武器来贬低他人。
格雷戈里。保罗的研究首次量化了基督教教义产生的社会效果。不只是基督教，一切狂
热的邪教都可能会有类似的邪恶效果。
当然，天主教会花了几百年压迫陷入贫困和苦难的老百姓。穆斯林有同样的呼吁
：暴力，复仇，排斥和压迫。
理智的人会奇怪宗教神话的诞生。
在美国，宗教=残酷。

religion of the Roman empire. In Dydima, Minor Asia, he sacks the Oracle of
