 The church demands that it's pronouncements be believed without doubt

   Speaking as an atheist and secular humanist I must take some issue with this
statement.  Theologians in many churches argue til they're blue in the face,
doubt things all over the place, and pile up mountians of historical and
cultural evidence.  Likewise bible study groups often have ferocious arguments
in which doubt runs rampant and evidence of all sorts is presented.

   Yes, Malcomb Muggeridge said that only Atheists had no doubts.

Dan Ashlock:

   Was that a stupid cheap shot or merely stupid?  You said so little I can't
tell...

   ...in any case Malcomb was wrong.  My point was that religious people do
doubt (religious scientists do it as well as scientists for some reason :})
just like the rest of us.  What on earth was you point?
