That's some rough living folks.

Perhaps some sympathy is in order.

True.


Millions of people in this country and around the world do not believe
in the jesus myth or celebrate the fake day of his non-birth. For many,
it is because they have a different religion or, more logically, no
religion. It doesn't make for "rough living."


You reckon they sit in their basement spending hours whining and moping about election results and
hurling insults at others?

Your "millions of people" claim doesn't really tell the real story in a
world with what, almost 8 *billion* people?

The real story:

Twice as many people in the world are Christian (believe in the concept
of Jesus) compared to those with "no religious beliefs". 32.5 percent
are Christian. 16 percent claim "no religion". The rest is made up of
Islam, Jews, and various smaller religious beliefs. Bottom line is that
84 percent of the world's population subscribe to some form of religious
belief. Only 16 percent claim to have no religious belief.



Billions and billions of superstitious. There's no proof anywhere of the
existence of a supreme being. The forms of that irrational belief have
changed from rocks to celestial bodies to statues and the beliefs have
gotten more sophisticated in some instances, but it is still the same
old nonsense.

1,280,000000 people agree with you.

6,720,000000 people do not.

You lose.

How so? Ignorant, irrational people used to believe that the sun
revolved around the earth. Most Americans have given up on the belief
that blacks should be slaves. Women have the vote, at least in this
country, for now. That so many people "believe" in religion doesn't mean
there is a supreme being.

That said, I got ordained today by The Church of the Latter-Day Dude and
have a certificate suitable for framing. I plan to sell Dude-ism on a TV
ministry show and perform marriages good for 24 or 48 hours, depending
upon the payment. We'll be just like the other faiths, except for the
superstitious bull****.

Go for it. That is how most religions got started.
You better come up with a better story if you want to be successful
tho.

The creator wants you to eat, drink, and be merry so long as you send us

Like I said, you really need to work on your patter.
You should have learned that sales is all about love or hate.
This is a sales call and you need to either make them love your
product or you need to scare the **** out of them.
