one of the best, and most visible, spokespeople for atheism on the scene today.
I retired from the "working world" last month and we are still putting our house together. Will try to show up here more often.
That's not a threat.

Many Christians already believe that their holy book was essentially dictated by god to the various humans that wrote the words down.
They will claim that their god will just do the same thing again.
