If more Christians were as passionate about bringing light to His glory as some radical atheists are about diminishing it then I believe we would see a radically-changed world.

WTF is that supposed to mean? Christianity teaches that everyone who is not a christian will burn in hell eternally. How on earth is that “bringing light to His glory”? It’s rank bigotry, ignorance and stupidity - that’s what it is.
Most Christians in America completely ignore the astounding nature of the universe as uncovered by science. They think the universe is 6,000 years old instead of ~14 *billion* years. They think mankind was made out of clay as an afterthought to creation, rather than being one teensy thread of a mind-bogglingly intricate tapestry of evolution. They think the sole purpose of life is to “glorify” some imaginary friend who is supposedly “all loving” and “all powerful” but in actual fact is petty, jealous and capricious. They think morality is “unchanging”, based on a earth-shatteringly pig-ignorant view of their own history.
You say “bringing light to His glory”. I say GTFO.

Christians often have a funny way of looking at things—it’s as though they think they’re 100% right! >_<
That said, I pretty much agree with Contrarian. However, there are loads of contradictions that you have to ignore with just about any belief system—even science. Most folks don’t think of science as a belief system but it is for most of us. Most of us have no means (or know-how) to independently reproduce what science tells us it proves. So, we have to put our “faith” in scientists. Since scientists are people, too, it follows that they are flawed.
It took an apple falling from a tree for a scientist to “discover” gravity. Really? So, no one noticed it before then? Or thought about it? And that one scientist is so cool because he was the first to define gravity? Like no one else would notice how we all stick to the ground and try to theorize why this was? Ooo, Issac, you’re so COOL!
If anything, the fact that it took humans over a hundred-thousand years to get around to defining something so obvious as gravity should be an embarrassment, than anything else. Science gets it wrong so often, it’s frustrating that there are still so many cocky-bastard scientists out there who are so sure of themselves that they forget their own humanity (aka fallibility). Apparently, Newton was also a Christian.
>_<
See what I mean?
All that said, I’d trust scientists long before I’d trust some dude in a costume who says he knows what the creator of the universe wants from us.
WTF is that about??
