The Failure of Christianity to Stand Up to Reason.

Why not ? There is nothing wrong with that speech. Let's say it is titillating .... in more than one way ..... and for more people than just the Muslims or the Jihadists ..... 😛

Wow, what a post, yozzer. I haven't finished reading all yet, and I am not sure if I will be able to absorb all in a single reading. Maybe I'll have to look up at some of the things you've raised here. That should be interesting. In another thread, I've promised to read up on the bible. Hopefully I will find there 'truth'.

Now I don't know if I will agree with what you have written here, but I must say that I am very, very impressed with your logical arguments/reasoning, and the apparent research required to arrive at such an extensive argument!

I wonder, yozzer, would it be possible to copy what you've written here into say microsoft word, and then send it to as an email attachment? I'd really appreciate it very much. My email address is: ckoh1965@yahoo.com. I want to actually print it out and analyse every bits and pieces if I can. Thank you in advance.

Forget about it. Silly of me. How simple to just cut and paste onto a blank word document! Have done that now. Thx anyway. Again very good piece of work, yozzer!

Or, you could just go to the website from which yozzer lifted it in the first place. The original article has a date of 20 November 1999.
