   Keep him far from humanity, and especially children,   
   for the god of Christianity is cruel and vindictive,   
   and sits idly by while children are harmed by clergy   
   and mauled by bears.  He's also a terrible father   
   because he drowns entire civilizations to death and   
   even ordered a father to kill his own son.   
      
   So, I want nothing to do with your god's love, and   
   anyone else who understands the gravity of what he's   
   known for don't want anything to do with it either.   
      
   Your god is so sick that I wonder if psychotherapy   
   would be sufficient to treat his obvious conditions.

   No, I don't want Jesus Christ near me either -- he   
   failed to abolish slavery and was described by   
   Christopher Hitchens as introducing the concept of   
   Hell to the world:   
      
   "There's no Hell mentioned in the Old Testament.   
   The punishment of the dead is not specified there.   
   It's only with gentle Jesus, meek and mild, that the   
   idea of eternal torture for minor transgressions is   
   introduced."   
      -- Christopher Hitchens   
      
   Also, my heart is fine just the way it is.  Putting   
   Jesus into anyone's heart is going to kill them,   
   unless, of course, Jesus isn't real.
