though i am usually swayed by such high praise, i can't help but comment on this one little statement:

i have to ask what is intelligent or rational about a belief in christian dogma. though the ideals of constancy and self-sacrifice that are put forward in much of the new testament may be laudable, they tend to lose some traction when based on such premises as a virgin birth and talking bushes, not to mention the whole idea of an omnipotent and omnipresent being watching over the fruits of its week long orgy of creation. please excuse me but, as an atheist, i can't avoid seeing the entire thing as childish superstition.
