Query: Richard Marius: the writer between a rock and a hard place

Poor Richard Marius. You figure a guy with such little use for Christianity would choose another topic to expend so much blood, sweat and tears on.I mean really. His contempt for any brand of that religion is so obvious after reading this book that I can't help but wonder why he bothered to write it all.Who knows, maybe some guys get their kicks out of trashing other people's religious traditions for no good reason other than to score points with his bigshot, Harvard University cronies.Well congratulations Richard, you succeeded. I hope the cocktail party accolades you received were worth the effort.
