your point-by-point analysis of my post smacks of *personal attack*, but i'll ignore that.

If you choose to post snide and petty attacks on public officials here then don't complain when your attacks are challenged. I do post analysis sentence by sentence, point by point, to exclude protests of
"I never said that' and to clarify what I'm posting about. Works very well, especially in longer posts or those with many different points being made.

putting the God myth in school textbooks just because many believe it is hogwash. people used to believe the earth was flat. some still do. the god myth was created by primative men who had no knowledge of science or scientific method. they believed in a geocentric universe and the bible (i assume this is your myth of choice) reflects this. If the bible is the word of god, how come he thought the earth was in the center? how can your god be wrong? i thought he was omnipotent.

Snaky, you cannot for one moment prove to me there is not a God. You must know that. The atheist explanations of how the universe, the earth and man came into being are improbable except to those who want to believe them. On the other hand, I also know that I cannot prove to you that God exists in a tangible way and the bibical explanations of how the universe, the earth and man came into being are clearly seen as nonsense to you and thus, summarily rejected. I'm willing to let it rest there, unless you want the whole atheist/Christian debate to start here again. I'm willing but not anxious as nobody 'wins' - but I will defend my faith if you choose to ridicule it.
As for your claim that 'God thought the earth was in the center' (of the universe)...I have no idea what you're referring to except some atheist canard submitted as fact that twists something written in scripture. Elaborate or drop it.

so many believe in the god myth because it is taught to children before they have any reasoning or logic skills. kids would believe that the color blue is green if you told them that from the time they were babies.

Well, by gosh, they didn't fool you! Another rugged individualist who makes his own reality and calls it rational because he's at the center of it. Neat. Foolish, but neat.

to incorporate the god myth into public education, to me, is like teaching Tolkien as fact.

Oh give us all a break. You really think I have the time much less any interest in going to some anti-Christian, atheist website? Not likely, Snaky. I'll go to yours if you go to my pro-Christian, anti-atheist sites. Better yet, let's skip the whole exercise. I know full well what atheists think of Christianity and I've read all the arguments and had many debates over this subject, in person and on messageboards. By now, you appear to have at least a clue as to what Christians believe. Neither of us need to read more propaganda from the other side and even if we bothered to do so, I can guarantee that no one's opinion will be changed so why bother. You atheists demolish nothing but you make a lot of claims and ask a lot of 'questions' that you've already answered - in your favor. Ive been there - and it's really tiresome.

religion kills.
more folks have died because of your god, or their god, or someone else's god than in all the traffic accidents, diseases and other causes put together.

Absolutely wrong on every count but a popular atheist talking point I've seen a thousand times. Did you actually think you had an original thought, there? Atheist communist dictators like Stalin and Mao caused tens of millions of deaths in nations where no religion was ever allowed, far more than any religion ever caused, although the Islamists are catching up, but slowly.

believe what you please, but don't teach fantasy bs in the school system as 'truth'. We have come a long way in the last thousand years, why undo it?

'Religion' won't be taught, creationism may be, someday. , at least as an alternative to Darwinism, which is as much unproven as the existence of God in tangible form. Sounds fair to me.
