A View Of Reason #3 Why I Am An Atheist

"Christianity...(has become) the most perverted system that ever shone on man. ...Rogueries, absurdities and untruths were perpetrated upon the teachings of Jesus by a large band of dupes and importers led by Paul, the first great corrupter of the teaching of Jesus. "

Because the most zealous believers are this side of certifiably nuts - like the people in this story about the "Statue of Liberation Through Christ," erected in Memphis yesterday by the World Overcomers Outreach Ministries Church.

And the overly zealous tend to get their facts scrambled, like the passage in this article about the origins of the Statue of Liberty. This post on the Urban Legends Reference Pages (Snopes.com) tells the real story.

Don't even get me started on those whack jobs from Kansas who prey on the families of dead soldiers.

More to come later, with a clear head.
