It's like the Psychic Friends Network, they gave you "answers" but the answers they gave were worthless

Christianity needs to be replaced with something more fulfilling to the masses, IMO.

Mostly due to Magus?

It's unfortunate that the most likely future replacement for Christianity is Islam. This is hardly an improvement.

That is how you and I see it, but there has got to be something that the religious get out of it. I certainly to not object to those who find fellowship, compassion and comfort in their religion and I am sure you and I could easily come up with a list of the things that are objectionable about religion but until we come up with a replacement that provides the things that are good about religion without the objectionable parts and something happens that pushes the current religions out of the way, they are going nowhere. (Sorry about the run on sentence.)

Well, I certainly wouldn't ignore him, were he to actually show up.

I would, however, pee on his shoe just to be contrary...

That's bad for him. I've always imagined he'd probably wear sandals...
