Read this hilarious quote from The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins (one of my idols), and laugh at the absurdity of Christianity.

Radical, I've read many of your posts and greatly respect your intellect and understanding of matters. And to be honest, I can't help agreeing with much of what you are pointing out here. But it occurs to me that there's a certain irony about this particular thread: you are gleefully pouring forth your contempt for Christianity (well, religion in general) and therefore its followers, and essentially attacking them for their belief. What I dont understand is - how does your vitriol here seperate and make you distinct and spiritually or even intellectually better off than the people you are attacking?
The veracity behind your position notwithstanding - I'm just failing to see how your post here is steeped is in any way constructive. I am not Christian, nor even religious, but I can plainly see how people who are would find this grossly offensive. And therefore I ask - in the context of a personal development forum, is this the best aproach?
From another point of view, what I do believe is that what you put out into the world comes back to you. I therefore think that a thread like this is likely to do nothing more than reinforce whatever negative feelings or resentment you have towards religion, and that you will ultimately find such an approach a less-than-optimal avenue for attaining peace of mind. For me, when I can manage it, I find compassion and understanding to be far a more constructive and useful approach for everyone concerned.
