Dump 'em. Let's say you convert them by "miracle". There'll be 10 to take their place. Let them have their fairy tales. Let them convert who they will. Those free to think for themselves will always choose truth over faith and those brainwashed or weak will always choose to stay blind.
I'd say the most beneficial actions to take towards these people, if you do choose to keep them in your circle of acquaintances, is to be kind and generous towards them. That way whenever they go to bash atheists and how "horrible" we are, they'll always have your kindness and generosity in the back of your head.
I'm telling you to do this because I really am a horrible asshole, so they'd be right about me.
So I did a bit of searching and I guess the government uses yyyy/mm/dd which does sound correct when you append a time do it, it's nice and sequential. I do, however, understand why other countries use dd/mm/yyyy, because that's how they would speak it. Instead of saying October 1st, they would say the 1st of October. This way ALSO makes more sense then the mm/dd/yyyy because there's an order to it. So I guess this will never be fixed
hmmmmmm strong in some points weak in others. I'd like to see a revision where he doesn't claim that an overly violent species is going to have trouble maintaining a high population. It's a benefit that these animals don't die when fighting for territory, food, or to mate, because later on down the road, they may end up being the stronger one in the fight. If they were eliminated from the gene pool, altogether, that may allow for an even weaker individual to get its share of animal pussy and reproduce. I don't think natural selection has to do with large populations so much as it has to do with the survival of a population.
I was taking a math class a few years back and we did parametric graphs involving predator vs prey populations showing how that when as one was declining, the other was increasing, and at a certain point, those growth patterns would reverse. The reason I bring this up is because I'm bored at work AND because I want to point out that a healthy size of a population of a certain species is more of a balancing act than it is an effort to gain the highest number possible. So, you wouldn't want a certain predator populating so much they eat their food supply and eliminate it from their area altogether because that would be a very bad thing for the success of this species' survival. What we have are measures to ensure not every one is breeding whenever they want, they have to earn it in the case of the Mexican lizard guys. In fact, if the guy who loses this fight, can't win at all, he's of no use to the species. You could kill him and it'd make only a slight positive difference in your competition for food. But I guess nature can be fair sometimes in giving everybody a chance to get in where he fits in .
Who cares what he believes? I've stopped trying to convert people, I just look at the fervor with which they believe this bullshit and filter them out of my life accordingly.
I'm not saying if you believe in god, we can't be friends, I'm just saying if you believe in God to a degree that I have to constantly know your shitty faith, we will never have enough in common to get along.
So make a decision, is the debate between the two of you inspiring and educational, or is it just a frustrating experience?
Xbox is already broken...i can hear it rattle when she picks it up. You know that rattle that you hear after you throw an electronic device and you shake it to see if there has been any damage to it? Yea, that rattle.

I don't know...I think it is legal to sell "tobacco water pipes" but not import them because of customs which I believe is Federal business. If I remember correctly, Tommy Chong got busted by the feds for selling tobacco water pipes even though it was legal in his state. The government wanted to use him as a scapegoat.

Replacing the mixture of gases that makes up air with another gas (other than oxygen) does do harm. Maybe not in the short term but depriving your brain of oxygen is generally a bad thing.
