		+	==Quotes from Functional Atheists==
		+	Functional atheists ("agnostics") will publicise their own quotes - for example on wikiquote. Surely quotes from people such as Thomas Huxley should not be promulgated by wikiChristian, but should be removed from the Bible webpage. Were Kant and Goethe Christians?

-==A snarky summary of the Bible==

-''The Bible'' is the most popular fantasy novel ever written.  The first main character is a stuttering, orphaned, Jewish murderer named Moses, who was raised by the Egyptian royalty.  He leads a resistance and eventually escapes Egypt with his people, and then wanders around the desert for a while, and after he dies his people go on to create Israel without him. He told people that he followed a god that was their god now, and they had to follow him or else.  This god was so special because Moses said he created the Earth some two thousand years before, over a seven day period.  Then his god put people on the earth, starting with a guy, then eventually giving him a wife.  They [[Fun:Original sin|ate a fruit]] when Moses' god told them not to, so he decided they should suffer and die by being kicked out of the paradise he made for them.  Since there was no more paradise, this made carnivorous animals start to eat other animals, all because of us.<ref>  Now godless [[Paleontology|paleontologists]] imagine they've found evidence of carnivorous animals eating other animals before humans existed.  That shows how ignorant and evil paleontologists are. They contradict the Bible.  Wait a moment.  The Bible's fantasy fiction.  So paleontologists aren't evil after all.
