You know, christianity comes in all flavors and interpretations, and the mistake along many of us who tend to reject it, is to paint all christians with the same brush (heck, they've been killing each other over the differnces themselves for two millenium now).
That said, alot of the criticisms thrown at Flagellum here seem to come from the mythical christian lump, and not neccessarily Flags particular beliefs. So I think he ends up defending himself more than neccessary, and defending his view of christianity when you guys are throwing different criticisms of it from people that hold different beliefs about the religion.
e.g. I don't neccessarily think Flag is of the "fag-hater" variety, although he'll gladly tell you why homosexuality probably isn't accepted in a biblical view, he's not vehemently insane about the point. So when you guys ask him to defend those points of christianity that you find odious, he probably doesn't subscribe to those radical points himself.
However, i think he's whacked with his interpretations of science vis-vis scripture.
