I am not much into religion. God yes, but somehow all religion to me sounds like a stretch. Especially since whatever happens, it seems to be a human who wrote the religious books that are followed by the believers of the world. I mean, anyone who has given testimony to a court can attest, it is extremely difficult to recount the exact words that were said (in this case by God). Also, translation is a huge problem. Since none of the pure languages in which these books were written in have the same form or are even very prevalent, it seems to me that somewhere something is lost in translation.
I don't think I am an atheist or agnostic or whatever it is that you may call me. I am just me. But this guy has taken doubt to a new interesting level. Chances are that he is going to lose this case. Not because of any lack of evidence, but the headaches that will be caused if he wins will be too much. Christianity by itself will be challenged. What would Pat Robertson do for a living, if the guy he swears by, was no more factual than Gabbar Singh? What would George Bush do if the book that he says guides him, is little more than "Million Little Pieces" a million times over. Heck, what will all the desi parents do, when they want their kids to have a "convent" education?
