Anyway, anyone willing to be as robust in their atheistic convictions regarding Islam as they are to Christianity?

Etiez-vous Charlie?
There's a bloke over the road who regularly collects money and food and clothing donations to give to the poor and homeless , which his church distributes . He is a massive Christian.

Hes a decent , kind guy and I always pop over with food and stuff . I am also a decent and kind guy but I am not a Christian.

I think people who think God is one big fairy tale can be as kind and as decent , if not more so , than Christians and in many cases more so that the Christians

This bloke is a nice bloke but several times he's invited me to his church and also has sent me links to the alpha course which in case you dont know is quite a creepy way of converting and brainwashing people into Christianity. I don't think he quite understands it but I know the score .

I have often told him there may well be a god but I want proof before I spend Sunday morning in a church . I have asked him for evidence that worshipping God, Jesus etc and repenting my sins will be worth my while but all he does is avoid the question and quote stuff from the bible at me . He may as well read a swansea city programme from 1976 to me .

Like all other Christians he will only convert the poor , uneducated and vulnerable . Its not coincidence that around 96 percent of people who are scientists or have a scientific learning have no faith in God.

As for criticising all religion , including Islam , I do not agree with all he says but the work of Sam Harris , particularly letters to a Christian nation is an enlightening read . Of all the Western countries America is the one most tainted and influenced by the so called word of God. Its worrying in my view .
