Thanks mufy, I will have a read of those links tomorrow. The original OP said that atheists had no right to make comments on religion. Everyone has the right to believe in whatever, and you agreed with this on your 'humans first' post. What I was debating was the fact that all religions seem to think that they are beyond ctiticism or questioning, and as Scorpio pointed out a religion that can not defend itself from the most basic questions cant be up to much. If anything my questions get to make theists think and strengthen their 'faith', for faith it must surely be without the slightest evidence of proof.
