Due to popular demand, and because it is relevant to the current discussions
of maltheism, I am re-posting my notorious essay "Even If I Did Believe..."
to net.religion.  Newcomers to this net may be interested to know that this
essay got my posting privileges revoked at the fundamentalist-run Computer
Science Department of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.  The
essay manages to be a source of controversy even months after it has been
posted; after a several months absence (due to the UNC incident), for
example, I returned to USENET only to find the essay a hot topic of
discussion.  Recently, Paul Zimmerman brought it up again during his
proselytizing for maltheism.  I hope that it challenges and informs people
who have little knowledge of the less savory parts of the Bible, or who have
never heard the idea that "God is intrinsically good" questioned.
