Do you not think that perhaps a rational thinker would have asked me what evidence I had to support the theory?

To post the post I posted at the start of this thread. Which I wanted to do for multiple reasons: I wanted to see if valid criticism could be levelled at it - this seemed like good place to find it. I also wanted to hear the reactions of people who identify as atheist to having the book and Christopher criticised.
Christopher seems to have broad support in the atheist world, and my impression from hearing Christopher speak is that he operates from a belief system because his truth claim over-extends. Since his belief system seems to be critical of belief systems, I thought that would be a very interesting topic to explore.
Okay, but keep in mind that most of us around here don't hero worship, so if you think you are "taking us down" just because you have objections to one book written by one atheist, you're swinging at nothing. Personally, I preferred The God Delusion by R. Dawkins over GING, but that's just me.
