Over the years, many atheists and agnostics have enjoyed mocking Christians and people of religion who choose to believe in God. The most frequent criticism is that belief in God is unscientific, therefore it is foolish.
What many people don't realize is that the Bible and the stories within have an incredible amount of evidence to support them. More and more scientists are recognizing that the complexity of the universe necessitates a divine Creator as the Master Planner.

Furl It!

I find it amusing how easily non-believers will toss off their icons and excuse it as "dementia" the moment they take a position they don't like.
