"Atheists have an agenda to deny God." Some might. Most (such as Einstein, Paine, Voltaire, Twain, and Ingersol) probably have a desire to seek and affirm truth and to thwart the brutal consequences of superstitious belief as it has informed human history. "Take "evilbible" for example. I can hardly type for laughing. (Your desperation grows daily). I doubt that rape, murder, and brutal superstitious nonsense is all that amusing even to Fundamentalist Christians. I am sure it gives you a sickening feeling inside and tightens up your throat and shortens your breath. But then...if you like that sort of thing... "One can hardly imagine the Egyptians commissioning a great monument to the but-kicking they received at the hands of the lowly Hebrew's and their God." How ridiculous! So all the story of the plagues and everything else just ENTIRELY disappears?! Not one Egyptian is honest enough to mention an ocean parting waters and Hebrews running across?! And getting back to the Jews of Rome...none of them thought the events of Jesus and company to be worth a mention? Miracles, rising from the dead, sending demons into pigs? ;-) So much great science lost because of indifference?? <g>

Do you REALLY believe that Elijah was taken into "heaven" by a chariot of fire drawn by fire horses? I mean, this would be plausible to some primitive mentality of a superstitious age; but do YOU believe that HORSES burning fire draw red river carts through the sky picking up people and taking them to heaven?? Is that what you believe, Greg?? Do YOU believe that mental illness is caused by demons and that the solution is to sneak them into pigs where they will (what else) get their kicks by jumping the pigs over the cliff? Do YOU believe that blindness is cured by mixing up mud with spittle and shoving it in a person's eyes? Are these the things that YOU believe, Greg?? No wonder I find you difficult...
