Thanks Darwinian for giving me a further opportunity to quote my fave poet, Shelley, on christianity:-
" Christianity, like all other religions, rests upon miracles, prophecies and martyrdoms. No religion ever existed which had not had its prophets, its attested miracles, and, above all, crowds of devotees who would bear patiently the most horrible tortures to prove its authenticity. Like other systems, Christianity has arisen and augmented, so like them it will decay and perish. In time men will laugh as heartily at grace, faith, redemption and original sin, as they do at the metamorphoses of Jupiter, the miracles of Romish saints, the efficacy of witchcraft and the appearance of departed spirits."
All we have to do is wait...easy peasy!!

A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
