find it extremely amusin that eveything good that happens is attributed to some mystical but unproven (therefore non-existent) being yet everything evil is the result of human failing If there is a god, he seems to be a bit of an arrogant self-absorbed prick Of course there is evidence that God is an invention to provide a career for the ambitious "Darwin was wrong. Man's STILL an ape!" A point of accuracy - Darwin never suggested he ever was - he merely pointed out that they and we evolved from the same source. Christianity has been kept alive by spiritual blackmail, promotion of ignorance, torture and mass murder - without that, it would have dissipated with all the other primitive beliefs.The church's response to science and knowledge had always been a violent one It is up to those who believe in bogeu-man to prove their existence, otherwise, unless they make themselves visible they don't exist. I think the high point of the "there is a god" argument has to be Ake's Stephen Fry must be wrong because he is such a bad entertainer (if that is not what he is arguing, why does it have any relevance here?) Bonkers!!! Jim Carroll
