I had never seen that comparison between Harris and Stiller, and I don't think they look anything alike, so that's lost on me. Now, the Bush and Chimpanzee meme, THAT I can totally see.
But Hitchens, AronRa, anyone I've mentioned was probably referred to down the line in some way. I'm just not a big Ben Stiller fan.
Never heard of Stiller. I was saying Hitchens and Stimbo (a member here) look alike, or so his friends tell him.
Back to your point, the things Christians tell us to excuse the fact that things don't happen in real life the way they do in the bible have driven many away from the church. For me, it wasn't one thing, but over and over again. The killer I will always remember, a guy who called himself a prophet came to my church and told me that the bible says faith comes by hearing, and since I'm deaf, faith can't come to me. My pastor just stood there grinning like an idiot.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
