Really? What science backs up Christianity? I must have missed that in the most recent copy of the Yale Science Journal.
Christianity does have historical support, but frankly I am so cynical these days and so aware of how ignorant my fellow Christians are that I don't expect any of them to be able to articulate anything rational in defense of Christianity using history as evidence. The modern church (well, most modern churches) have decided to take the "head in the sand" approach, with respect to science and history. Hell, they probably think that the first five books of the Bible were written by Moses! Every good religious scholars know that it was at least 2000 years later until pen was ever put to paper in recording any of the Pentateuch or later biblical books.
Hell, most Christians today probably don't even know that they are supposed to know that Moses wrote the first five books of the Bible. Knowledge and Christianity have unfortunately become diametrically opposed forces in our society. It doesn't have to be that way, but our society has certainly encouraged it to be that way. I've just given up discussing religion with anyone who I don't already know is intelligent, frankly because it makes me ashamed to be a Christian. Its just unfathomable to me how you could be so ignorant about your own religion, let alone everything else.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
