That is exactly the reason I post to these groups.  The Internet is a 
powerful beast.  If I can just put the seeds of doubt into a christians
mind 
I believe I am helping the world.  It's the same for muslims though - they

need to be shown that their invisible Allah entity does not exist either.

We have nutty Christian Americans and Jews on one side and muslim fanatics

on the other - a classic recipe for holocaust.  But you're right - it
won't 
be in our lifetime.  Maybe in my grandchildren's lifetime ??
