Christopher Hitchens, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and many others have done the same.

I find it interesting that you constantly feel the need to defend Christianity. For an atheist, youre an odd guy. Not necessarily a bad thing, but true nonetheless.
Its as if youre unable to partake in a conversation about the flaws of religion.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
