In reply to the discussion: Why Abrasive Atheism Will Always Sell Better [View all]Joe Turner
(930 posts)1. I don't think so
Imagine a TV ad that tell's you that "if you buy our religion you are f**ked after death, but buy us anyway because we are right". Doesn't sound really appealing does it? What atheists don't understand and never will, is that it is instinctive in most humans to believe in a god and a afterlife. That notion may drive people like you crazy because you are so convinced there is no god or afterlife but you are arguing against human nature. That's why the atheism brand will never sell to the masses, especially when the global powers that exist in this world make sure your life is miserable on earth. To understand this will require that you challenge your own beliefs.
