Two very worthy distinctions otherwise lost on many of the most enthusiastic
christians.
God doesn't seem to do much for athiests.
And people who can't find any value in life without the need to resort to a god
seem to me to have something of a lack of imagination.
And and I reject as wholly unsupportable John's assertion that I have not
examined the issue honestly :-)

Still baldly going...
And and and 'Go Rev!'.
I fled christianity long before I encountered the Brick Testament, and it brings
out a small piece of what drove me along.
Disseminate away!
I like the Bible. I still read bits from time to time. As I read the Qur-an.
But it is well to remember that these books were indeed written for a different
time, from tales of another time still (John made this point somewhere). It
tells me that one needs to evaluate carefully some of the wilder recommendations
when they conflict with the basic tenets.
Its important work the Brick Testament does. More please!
