My parents were both atheists...

Know lots of Chinese who come from three generations of atheists who?have converted to various faiths...

Perhaps the meme is more about tendencies... Like if your family play a sport you're more likely to play as well...

Mrs. Betty Bowers, America's Best Christian is a satirical character portrayed by Canadian comedian Deven Green and conceived by Andrew Bradley.

Bowers is a haughty, prim, conservative American church lady who lampoons and deconstructs many aspects of modern American Christianity . Her mannerisms, exaggerated diction and withering admonishments have been quite a turn-on for some of her fans, who have expressed a desire for her to "punish" them.

In other words Deven Green is a postmodern Christian, an SJW with no faith in anything but her own campaign to destroy Christianity. Metaphorically speaking, the devil has her by the ass.

Post-modern Christianity falls into line with basic post-modernist thinking. It is about experience over reason, subjectivity over objectivity, spirituality over religion, images over words, outward over inward, experience is valued more highly than reason, t***h becomes relative.

Not only do postmodernists deny Christ's claim to be the t***h, but they also dismiss his statement that he is the only way to heaven. Today Christianity is ridiculed as arrogant or intolerant by those who say there are "many paths to heaven." This view that all religions are equally valid is called pluralism.

In postmodernism, all religion, including Christianity, is reduced to the level of opinion.



Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

For by it the elders obtained a good report.

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.

Trolling? You don't think that people adopt the faith of their parents and their parents before them? Well, why? Explain!

So explain why Christian countries remain Christian countries, and Muslim countries remain Muslim countries, etc. If it's free will that's doing the choosing then wouldn't there be more diversity than we are seeing now?

Yes trolling. You’re trying to get a rise out of people.

Lack of exposure...

Same as some countries play hockey, others soccer, other cricket...

Or why some countries prefer certain foods...

Parenting plays a part, I didn't disagree with you...But it's a tendency more than a rule...

So, what happened to you, Peter, did you adopt the faith of your parents?

Were your parents atheists and you just went along with that?

Or conversely, were your parents Christian zealots who beat you over the head with the Bible and forced you to go to church and you couldn't take it any more so you rebelled, and now you want some payback. Why?

If something is so abhorrent, so offensive, to you, why even wallow in it? You're wasting your time vilifying Christians.

Those of us who believe have faith in God simply because we have followed God's demand that we build our faith upon reason. IOW, we have to have good reason to have faith in God.
