jesus fed starving people fish. it's one of the most told bible stories,

If one is agnostic, which I believe means no belief in any god, would not using examples from the bible be somewhat dubious?

Not if you're talking to people who are not agnostic. It's like using math to convince scientists they are wrong. Sometimes it's the only type of argument people listen to, one from their own belief system.

It seems to me, oddball that I am, that were I to take a belief system that I hold invalid and use it to prove a point I find valid, that there is a very serious flaw in my logic.

Is it just me?

And I'm not picking on anyone here, just looking at it like it was a puzzle to be solved.

Yes, but you're not talking about logic but beliefs. There's no logic in beliefs. Don't be silly.

Whats wrong? Being Christian? I agree. Well actually I believe the world would be a better place without religion at all. Religion harbors hate and prejudice.

I believe she meant it was wrong to lead people to believe she believed something she didn't, not that she meant it was wrong to be christian, if I have correctly interpreted your response.

Sounds like the thread's going slightly off-topic, but nobody can deny that religion has not caused a lot of hatred, prejudice, and wars.
