We (rightfully) jump all over Christians when they do that to us. Don't make us hypocrites by doing the same thing to them.

Hey I'm just stating the logical because if you truly understand evolution then you know Adam and Eve could not be literally true, for evolutionary genetics had shown that the population of modern humans was always much larger than two. But deGrasse didn't probe him at all, just like near the end deGrasse said that Dawkins said if he met god in afterlife he would tell him that He created the world in which there was no trace of his existence, to which scumbag Jesuit replied that god would answer him "So that people could have a little faith." - Oh goody!! So when God kills million people in an earthquake it's because he wants to test my faith in him, just like when he gives a newborn baby a leukemia. Maybe that could make sense if to some people when they look at other children, but if your kid got so sick then it wouldn't make that sense. But then the argument is that it's a good thing when you die because you go to paradise which really reaches the limits of insanity. This is truly something that was driving people for many millennia that when someone died people would kill themselves in order to follow him to the "next" world.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
