But maybe I’m just stark raving mad, and maybe this God that you folks have among any other religions today, is so much different in the reality of which you view him through your books. Just remember that more often than not, the deities people worship have become nothing more than mirrors of themselves over the ages.

Prove past the literal hundreds of revisions and retranslations that this big and scary Hell of yours ever existed.

Prove your puny God that barely even has a name is not the insecure and petty prick many stories have shown us. Christians invented Hell, just like they fabricated Paradise and Purgatory; and some of you still fail to realize what a business your belief has become. Though I admit that I am impressed to how your holy books have been fine tuned over centuries to provide so many useful mental gymnastics and faith-driven self blockades with which to make your faith quite unshakeable.

So, prove that your religion is the one and only or shut up and worship to yourselves as your own book commands, lest you be no better than those Scribes and Pharisees JC seemed rather miffed about in his day. Oh, and admit that for all your talks of love and doing the right thing, that you only worship out of the selfish desire for eternal life, the fear of your expiration date, or the fact that you require a crutch with which to stand on your own two feet where logical reason has obviously failed to satisfy.

Freedom of speech?

im 17 been a christian for a number of years now.. and to be honest its the only logical way..if you are atheist..what have you got to live for? when i die and when we all die we’re gonna have nothing, all our savings..gone, family…gone,awesome car…gone, mansion…gone. im thankfully going to live an eternal life in heaven because christ died for me and saved me from the oposite, eternal life and DAMNATION in HELL, you can sit and slag me off and other professing christians off for standing up for their beliefs but in the end who is gonna come out top…?

and if you really think about it, the fact that you are slagging this woman off (who by the way i think she has gone over the top with the issue she should have kept it within the school)you are persucuting christians. we should have freedom of speech same way that atheists muslems hindus and whoever else wants to say what they believe!

Here in the US the headmaster would have been fired by now and the mother would be gloating about it on talk shows. I wonder if you Brit atheists know how good you have it over there, ideologically. 40% atheist and agnostic!!! If it weren't for the freezing beaches and godawful hash I'd move. It would be nice to not have to worry about the next time Christians try to force Adam and Eve into science class.
