Whoa! Such heavy knee-jerks, I am surprised you manage to stay in your chair, Bingo.

Not surprised, Sean. A lot of Christians get really offended at the suggestion that their God may not exist, yet they roll their eyes when people of the exact opposite view get offended for being wished a "Merry Christmas" or told "God bless".

I think both sides are quite ridiculous. Having the blessing of a God you don't believe in wished on you is not going to do you any harm. And hearing alternative points of view on the origin of the universe is something no Christian should fear. If they are sound in their faith in God, then familiarity with the opposing views will only stand to make them more informed. If they are not sound in their views and hearing Atheist thought makes them doubt, then maybe they ought to take measures to strengthen their faith, rather than follow it ignorantly and blindly. If after taking a serious look into both sides of the spectrum they cannot justify their faith in light of these other views, then maybe they need to seriously rethink their views.
