judging from the level of derision and mockery i see in this forum, i'd say we're almost there. this does NOT mean however, that i think christianity will be bidding us a fond adieu anytime soon. on the contrary, i believe we must step up our efforts and take advantage of the headway we are making. keep up the good work! keep pointing out the facts, evidence , contradictions, impossibilities, outright fabrications and paradoxes that make christianity such an easy target for dismissal.

dojo: Yep ... especially when you talk only to the Christians who are young and uneducated on this site. There are Christians in all walks of life ... some are MD's , some are politicians, some are policemen, some are soldiers, some are professors and scientists ... they all have very logical and reasonable answers to the questions posed here, by non-believers. All that has been truly, accomplished here is "bashing" presumptuously. Don't be so naive, as to think that the ones (Christians), for the most part, represent all of those capable enough to answer all the questions. Even; non-believers can't answer ALL the "questions" prompted here. My brother in-law is a professor of nuclear physics and has a genius level, I.Q. , photo-graphic memory and is also, a "Chrisitan". He has quite a bit to say on some of the arguments presented by science and has proved quite a few of them as merely, "educated" guesses - but "guesses" none-the-least, which us (both, Athesists & Christians) have been duped into accepting as "scientific fact". Take for example Darwin's Evolutionary theory ... when you run this by the vast majority of the Scientists at the Center for Science & Culture,
you will find that this "icon" held sacred by most science worshippers, is currently being dismissed as false. Check it out : www.dissent from darwin.org Being presumptuous and being factual are two distinctly different ways of presenting "knowledge" (science). Don't be too sure of yourself, there, pal !!!

I don't think that marginalization should be the point. I would prefer if all people would be a bit more willing to look at things from anothers POV.
Including christians, including atheists. I hope people will become more respectful of others beliefs in general. I don't like people who push things on me, whether it be religion, science, or hugs.
However, I think that discussing differing beliefs can be very constructive. It is arguing, trying to tear someone else down, that I find destructive.
As some greek philosopher suggested, the strongest faith is that which has been tested. Thats why traditional Japanese swords kick ***. Having the metal folded and hammered a kazillion times makes it stronger and more flexible.
Yeah, I'm kinda random.

Or just leave them alone with their personal delusions. If I expect them to respect my choice not to believe, I have to respect their beliefs despite the fact that I see no merit in them at all.
I know religion has wrought plenty of bad to this world but it has brought plenty of good also so I choose not to persecute it.

The advancement of science and the resulting improvement in human understanding of ourselves and the universe we live in will continue to push religion farther and farther out to the fringes of civilization until ultimately it becomes the total non-factor it should be.

It's the Fundamentalism, not the Christianity, that whithers in the light.

As long as they get to make all the political decisions, etc.[well, they do in my country, anyway], I'd say not.

A religious loser is always a loser...mainly because he can't speak his mind, only his brain-washed mind.
That is so sad.....what a waste if they all decide to migrate to the cats section.
