Case in point: Beep-Beep himself.
Look, ToadBuggerer, you're flat wrong. It's not a matter of opinion, it's factually objectively the least reliable form of evidence and should, in the absence of any other empirical evidence, be dismissed. Fortunately there's very infrequently no actual evidence to accompany in the situations where it's used (even if those situations only have circumstantial evidence). It just so happens that your book o' bullshit is one of those rare occasions, where not even something as minor as circumstantial evidence can be found to support it. So can you guess why that ancient tabloid trash is dismissed so readily, and justifiably so? Come on, you can make it. It's just a matter of admitting you're wrong. Yes, it's painful, but your life will vastly improve once you're willing to make that leap. That, we can prove. People who abandon faith have gained much, just look at someone like Seth Andrews or Dan Barker.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
