Reply #171: Actually, quite opposite

I defy you to produce a single piece of evidence that "disproves" any of those myths. Tax cuts cause deficits? Not according to the supply-siders. The Soviets were already collapsing when Reagan took office? Don't tell that to the members of the Church of St. Ronnie the Redbuster. And corporations are inefficient? Silly lib -- don't you realize those Iraq contracts would have been MUCH worse if the government had handled them?

Contrast this with the evidence against the Christian belief system. Historians, archaeologists, logicians, scientists and even theologians have pointed out many, many problems with the Christ story as written in the Bible. In fact, some of the strongest evidence comes from the field of Comparative Mythology, where the older legends of Horus and Mithras (among many others) can be shown to have strong parallels with the story of Jesus.


And as far as the inauguration being Obama's day, you couldn't be more wrong. This is *our* day. We worked for it, we fought for it and we're paying for it. I bet Barack Obama would be the first person to agree with that statement.
