Two comments somebody else wrote at the Wall Street Journal. It's about America's Christian assholes.

Christian apologetics is the over-burdened application of ecclesiastical resources tasked with defending the faith against objections. Apologetics are needed to defend the contradictions and irrationalities in the Bible, the atrocities of Christian history, the implausibility of miracles, the many failed prophecies, the missing power of prayer, and the infringement of science on closely held beliefs, among others. Apologetics are not needed to defend evolution science, the age or structure of the universe, or the germ theory of disease, for example, because these are adequately defended by verifiable evidence. To be brutally honest, apologetics are only needed to defend fallacious belief systems, such as UFO abductions, ghost sightings, and pyramid power. The fact that Christianity employs such a large industry of apologetics is a strong indicator that it is based on myth and fallacy.

The conclusion of an objective analysis is that, beyond a reasonable doubt, Christianity is untrue. One major lesson to be learned about determining what to believe and what not to believe can be summed up in a few words- the things that are real can be observed, measured, or demonstrated. To that end, we can say confidently that ghosts, goblins, poltergeists, Bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster, alien abductions, wizards, witches, angels, demons, fairies, and unicorns are not real. And one more we can add to this list: The God of Christianity.
