What harm is there is your believing in Biblical Christianity even if
it is false?  Having little regard for truth.  Happiness is not every-
thing:  even a secular document like the U.S. Constitution recognizes
other values, like liberty.  And the old philosophical trinity of
Beauty, Goodness, & Truth does not guarantee happiness at all.

Finally, be specific:  what "violent attacks" on Christianity?  Some
of the contributors are occasionally contemptuous; most aren't.

I'm tired of the VIOLENT (oops, I'm exaggerating) inaccuracy and
chronic misrepresentation of many of the pious who seem to think
that possession of religous zeal exempts them from the usual stan-
dards of debate.

"Why, my ancestors used to feed people like you to big kitties!"
