1.	The gospels were written X amount of time after the events they describe.
2.	It takes longer than X for mythological content to be added to writings about people.
3.	[Atheist points out examples of myths popping up about events after periods much shorter than X, even "living legends" who had myths circulate them during their own lifetime.]
4.	Oh, those are just exceptions to the rule!
5.	Therefore, God exists.

Consider this
Deaths in the Bible. God - 2,270,365 not including the victims of Noah's flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, or the many plagues, famines, fiery serpents, etc because no specific numbers were given. Satan - 10

Atheist on the Blog

The more I look at religion, the more I dislike it and what it does to the world and its people. This blog will help you understand why religion is something you shouldn't accept as a good thing in our lives. Above all, don't respect religious beliefs when their practitioners refuse to respect you.

Christian support for homosexuality

19 July 2007

There are some Christian groups who claim that Christianity can 'cure' homosexuality. This story suggests that they do far more damage than good:

Ex-Gay Recovery

When you've read that, take a look at the whole site. They are few and far between, but it seems that there are at least some Christian organisations which do not condemn homosexuality and, in fact, want to include GLBT people in their communities.

Of course, if they dropped the belief in God they would earn even more of my respect, but given that homosexuals are condemned by most Christian denominations, this one is actually doing some good, at least in terms of acceptance that these are not 'choices', and that sexuality is as much a part of people as is the colour of your eyes.
