    The OP didn't say that he was a Christian, she said that he looked like Christian Bale!

    :rotfl:

    I am laughing my head off here, depsite the very serious nature of all of this (and FWIW, I agree with all of you - this idea is lunacy).

    She does say he is a christian, and she also says he looks like Christian Bale.

    All kicking off though. I reckon the Christian God should have a fight with the Atheist God to settle this argument.

    Are you sure you didn't have a dream about Christian Bale flying over to give you a good seeing to, OP? I have them all the time so I can totally understand.

    I get where the OP is coming from though. Johnny Depp skypes me all the time. I can't get him to stop.

    Why is it offensive that atheists consider the Bible (and other religious books) to be a work of fiction. I would have thought it's pretty obvious that's what we think. If we didn't think that, then we wouldn't be atheists :rotfl: No one insulted Christians.

    Anyway I think the OP has had their fun and gone. Trolling or just hoping everyone would agree with her and got the hump because we don't.

    For my pennysworth, OP, don't be a prat. Your justifications are pathetic. It'll end in tears all round (apart from his).

    As a Christian it doesn't offend me that an atheist would consider the bible a work of fiction akin to a fairy-tale. Actually it would be more strange if they didn't!

    If this is true and I have my doubts like others then stay well away. Remember anyone can say that they are a Christian but that in itself means nothing.

    Thanks for the support in regards to my comment. It wasn't intended to give Christians or anyone else with a religion a kick, It's just purely my opinion.

    I won't get into a massive debate about what I deem to be a brainwashing culture that is swiftly dying out with advances in science and common sense. If being part of a religion is what you choose, that's absolutely fine. If I met you in person I would respect your opinion and choice, it doesn't mean I have to agree or abide to it.

    The fact that two people have found my post 'very offensive' just presents confirmation of my well educated decision.

    I know which I would I would be more inclined to believe happened :D
