Look obviously no one is going to convert anyone here. The only thing being accomplished is the insulting of posters and the temporary loss of another. Unfortunately Christianity has fallen into an easily stereotyped role and much of it's followers have become incredilby hypocritical (correct word?). Therefore many dont know enough to make a strong defense for the reasons they practice the faith. As for atheism I see that as being just irrational as any religion. Science has a long way to go to answer many questions that linger. As for the Hitler and all the rest well almost all of them (except the salem witch trials) carried their reigns of terror out in the name of the catholic church. The Salem witch trials occured under the Puritans. What do these two have in common. Both are equally opressive and cold perversions of Christ's doctrine.
I think we should abandon this post...this board can be put to better use
