I'll swing it gladly. Every objection to christianity that we might choose to leverage was proposed before the new testament was even written. If people were going to let this sick little cult go after being presented with a smile and reasoned arguments they would have done so over a thousand years ago. It appeals to something within us that is ugly and completely deplorable, but nonetheless extremely powerful. I'd go so far as to say that most of us here, atheists included, would love to be absolved of whatever we feel our misdeeds have been. The difference between us and them is that we know they can't be, and that we must face them in order to better ourselves personally, and collectively. So, when someone responds to the question of atrocities with "what of it", I'm going to give them an earful. All we have to do to make it absolutely certain that we keep repeating this bullshit is ignore it, or pretend that it doesn't really matter.
