Properly read, the Bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived.

A.I. and many others were 100% right on that.  It was the Bible that made me atheist too.   That and science.

When the latest crop of young Jehovah's Witlesses showed up here a few weeks ago I thanked them for their pamphlet and told them that I was a lifelong atheist; that they'd be wasting their time and endangering their beliefs trying to 'save' me, but that I welcomed their discussion.  The now visibly nervous young man responded that they were just promoting Bible study.  I replied, "A worthy goal!  It was Bible study that confirmed my atheism."  They haven't been back.  They're usually on a two week cycle, and I may have messed that up for them.

Ted, strong work!  In a few years, they'll be at your door in jeans and t shirts, thanking you for showing them the light.  Or not.
