I want Christianity to receive the same respect astrology, alchemy, and Greek Mythology receive.  Consider this:

1.  The catholic church stance that “Aids is bad, but Condoms are worse” is really, truly, non-metaphorically killing thousands of Africans every year.  

2.  There are millions of American Christians who reject global warming on the basis of it not being prophesied in the bible.

3.  Stem cell research is being delayed by the Christian right.  Will the number of people who die before a treatment is discovered be in the hundreds or thousands? 

4. Without religion, what society would decide it is moral to slice a child’s genitals (without reasonable medical evidence to do so)?  

“I don’t know how we are going to get a future where Muslims believing in martyrdom and Christians believing in the rapture will be a good recipe for good neighbors… I’m simply arguing we need to cease to reward people for pretending to know things they do not know. The only area of discourse we do this is on the subject of god.” (Sam Harris Source)
