A supreme irony, but some would say they had it coming.

I don't think we'll see the extinction of Christianity very soon - if ever. They'll survive as some odd cult at the very least. But if we're looking at what Christianity has become, none is true Christians any more. I mean, how many people are stoning gays? Or selling their daughters as slaves? Not a whole lot of them. So I'd call todays Christians for... Post-modern Christians; they have adopted a much more modern way of looking at things, or THEY would be the ones getting stoned...

But I'm glad to live in a world where more and more people are becoming Atheists - in no way can that be a bad sign of things to come. I just wish we'd see more of this also happening in the Middle East...

You're joking, right?

If you're referring to the bolded part; no, I'm not. I wouldn't call Christians of today for "real, hardcore" Christians. They've cherry picked what they want to believe from the Bible - but that goes for almost ALL religion; they've chosen by large what they want to adhere to, and what to ignore. The Bible clearly states that you have the right to sell your daughter as a slave, and not even the most fundamental Creationist would do that (I hope).

Religion these days are all about cherry picking the good parts - as well as they should; there are some pretty horrible things in most religious texts.
