Judging by recent posts, I wouldn't hold my breath...

"Straight over their heads" refers to our more vocal Christian congregation. The less appealing is glossed over unless they are throwing their creed in your face and calling you a militant atheist or such insults when you question them.

A year without God is one thing. A thread without the bearded one would be nice.
Of course, there is a tendency to ascribe some of the weirder laws of the Old Testament to Christians.
A little reading of the New Testament would show how inaccurate this is. Whilst Christ (whom I assume you're referring to as "the bearded one") commented on the laws of Moses, he also replaced them.
Rather than the old view of "an eye for an eye" he preached that we should "turn the other cheek".
Rather than parrot the laws of Moses (be it 10 commandments, or all the rest) he summarised "Love the Lord you God with all your heart etc.) and "Love your neighbour as yourself".
Dietary requirements don't seem to get a look-in!

As for "a thread without the bearded one", I would be surprised if Christ did not get a mention in a thread about a Christian minister and his view of the world.
