I always find that statistics are hard to follow and impossible to digest. The only one I can ever remember is that if all the people who go to sleep in church were laid end to end they would be a lot more comfortable. ~ Mrs. Robert A. Taft

The one I'd heard, but never attributed to anyone was, "I have a hard time remembering all the facts and figures about this town, but I can confidently tell any visitor that if you were to lay all our virtuous, chaste and sanctimonious women in this town end to end, I wouldn't be a bit surprised."

"To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture. Enjoy, sir, your insensibility of feeling and reflecting. It is the prerogative of animals. And no man will envy you these honors, in which a savage only can be your rival and a bear your master." Thomas Paine

Sass, I know what it is supposed to mean, but like I said, the analogy is absurd. It's a fact that atheists convert often by hearing the gospel. Even if you're not a Christian, just ask some Christians who, when they converted, did not hear the gospel, you won't hear to many. Happens to thousands of people each day.

Now I see why people who quote Paine skip the scripture part, I just thought it better not to distort what Paine said. I was thinking more of his implication that Scripture was a truth that atheists were oblivious to. The letter is a very entertaining put down of General Howe.

The emphasis on the analogy was that they can't be converted by it.

I'm fairly sure atheists would be oblivious to scripture whether anyone else thought it was true or not.

And it truly depends on the source and their delivery.  Some people professing religion are simply bad for business.

then again, they may be atheist because that's what their parents taught them and never heard the word preached by a believer. They could go ape #&%!$ Christian, kind of like the opposite of a preacher's daughter gone away to college on their own for the first time ;)
