Joe, How does questioning the authenticity of Jesus's alleged miracles constitute a "gruesome attack" on christianity! Are we being a tad over-reactive, or is this a manifestation of an underlying insecurity? Likewise, there is nothing wrong with inspirational or religious stories - if one acknowledges them as being fictional. The issue here is that the information was presented as being actual fact. More importantly, if people choose to shut off their brains and cut and paste inspirational/religious/satanic/whatever posts from the web, with no original content of their own, this discussion forum will be doomed.
