Can't hate the game, gotta hate the player. It seems to smack of ignorance to say that everything in the bible is horrid and evil and not have read it, so I read it and now I am justified in saying that everything the bible has ever produced is horrid and evil. I think it's just something one ought to do as a rational and respectable atheist. I'm not supporting christianity but there is nothing objective or informed about an ignorant worldview, I think if your main belief is reason or truth you simply have to read it before criticising it.
Religion is an attempt to answer the philosophical questions of the unphilosophical man.
