I think the problem is that, deep down inside, you know there is a whole lot more truth to Christianity than you are leading us to believe. You fear it so much that you must wage war against it.
No, thanks to a healthy and happy upbringing, I don't share that "deep down" psychological weakness and sense of shame that leads people to the cross and motivates them to believe in 900 year old men and burning bushes. I was brought for a time to Sunday school as a child, but even at 5 I didn't buy into it.
The falseness of Exodus is interesting because people aren't talking about it. People don't know about the archeological evidence against the Jewish captivity, and it completely biases the understanding and teaching of history. The Jewish captivity "of some sort" is just kind-a assumed, absence of any evidence, because it's always been.
No, I don't believe anyone capable of believing someone lived inside of a fish can be reasoned with on science or historical truth, or is worth any time debating. I do think there are many people of various faith positions who are capable of reasoning outside the preconditioning of their religious experience. The more evidence is available to these people, the more they will naturally arrive at a truthful position and reject religious dogma based in centuries-old ignorance and illiteracy. This is happening at an accelerating pace, as the growing numbers of non-believers in society attest to (and this is something that I think you know deep down inside).
The reason I think it's important to fight a war for the truth is that I know your side is damn well fighting one against it, and I thank you for your questions.
