The utter insanity of Christianity (wow - that rhymes!)

I have been following the comment thread over at http://de-conversion.com/2008/07/22/i-never-wanted-to-be-an-atheist/ - and ran across the following exchange (names have been deleted to protect the guilty):

commenter 1 (a Christian)

Wow, the tone here is so interesting. Such great anger and pompousness, against God himself, even. Hmmm. He is not going to accept any of your excuses on Judgment Day. He is going to show you all of the ways he revealed himself to you quite… Continue

A survey of belief

Why do Christians want to pray for me all the time?

If god is omniscient he knows everything, including my disbelief. If god is immutable the he cannot change his mind.
