Me.
If he or anyone can make a solid case for Islam, Christianity or any
other religion, which leads me to convert, I will personally give them
the skull of John the Baptist (which just happens to be in my
posession) and/or the equivalent value in US dollars. And we're
talking priceless here.

Christianity. Monks traditionally brew beer and ale, and make wine.
What other evidence of divine inspiration do you need?

All religions have something to offer, if you don't mind being

religion look bad. Most of that comes from fundamental ignorance.
Taking things literally that weren't meant to be taken that way.
Focusing on things that were the thinking of the time that today we find
repellant. Just because the bible may talk about slavery being good
(and it does, but don't expect me to quote chapter and verse) doesn't
mean you have to listen to that.
I'm very comfortable discarding things like that. Some people aren't.
Loving your fellow man, treating others with respect, thinking with your
heart. Those all seem like pretty good things to me.

Wonderful things, but you don't need a religion to do them (or to brew
beer or make wine).

This doesn't require a god or religion. Why aren't you comfortable in
discarding god(s) and all dogma?
In fact, religion can be an impediment. It divides groups of people
into US (true believers, saved etc.) and THEM (unbelievers, heretics,
unsaved etc.).

That's correct. Read above re: fundamental ignorance and discarding.
Religion is intended to be a unifying thing. It's fundamental ignorance
that's divisive, not religion.

Atheists are too. We discard all the supernatural claims and all the
immorality. That leaves "play nice".

I have heard the skull of Nostradamus gives you certain powers Jack...
Then again a nice redhead might just have the same effect :o)

proof, doesn't belong in Christianity for I don't want your kind in my

What makes you so special that you would think that we want to be in

I don't need the skull of John the Baptist but I may need yours to convert you.
