Default Theists: What should we do with Atheists?

For a variety of legal and ethical reasons I would generally condemn the burning of atheists who endanger the eternal salvation of our children.

The question remains: What should we do with these minions of Satan, if we are to protect our families from their deceitful secular philosophy?

Suggestions please....

One word: compounds. Lock yourselves away in a compound. That always turns out well.

I am familiar with the idea of burning heretics. You just reminded me that they still do this in the US. cool.

I'm just not sure its the best solution for atheists.

I hear atheists hate money. In fact, they hate it more than anything in the world. Send lots and lots of money.

I can give you my address if you'd like.

Just curious how you know who the atheists are? Do you go around asking every person you know what their belief in god is before you decide wether to associate yourselves with them?

Perhaps by applying the principles set out in the Inquisitors manual:

[ QUOTE ]
4. Concerning the outward signs by which they can be recognized to some extent:

It should also be recognized that, as Augustine says in Against Fausus, "men cannot be bound together in either a true or false religion unless they are joined by common participation in some signs or visible sacraments." Thus the Beguins observe certain special practices of this sort, and display certain modes of behavior in speech and other areas through which they can be recognized by others.


[/ QUOTE ]

common participation in some signs or visible sacraments:

Posting on two plus two is an initial danger sign. Then a thorough analysis of all posts would be appropriate. If suspicisions are arosed there are a variety of options. Personally I'm not keen on torture; Psychometric testing might be one way forward.

Interesting, as the world would actually be better off without religion. Some of the worst acts in history have been committed because of religion.

Over the course of history religion has been beneficial to the individual but harmful to humanity. War has been harmful to the individual but beneficial to humanity. Of course they haven't been mutually exclusive.
