I think we need to be fair to Christianity and other religions. The problem is not so much with the "fairy tale" as the people who interpret it and implement it! For example if we could just live by the last eight or nine commandments .... might be a bit boring; but it would not that bad? If we don't recognize and accept the positives in a religion, how can we argue accurately against it? If we expect to win over somebody like 'godlovesyou' are we going to do it by looking down on this person and religion? Do we want theists who come to this forum to see the light?

So which would you prefer...understanding and reason ...or a baseball bat?
and
don't expect logic from the born again

all the best
