Heh. That has definite humour potential. Maybe even hit single potential. :)
So far, both Atheist and Moralist have raised, ah, interesting questions. I don't think the professor appreciates either of them, but I think I mentioned in a comment above that the class is pretty much a fifty-fifty split on the whole belief thing, so we get quite a lot of heated discussion after most classes.
the ones who do don't stay Christians
It does seem to require a high level of irrational faith. Some of them manage it, though, or there wouldn't be any PhDs in Theology in the priesthoods. Or religious Theology professors, for that matter.
...though it does bring home how uneducated a lot of so-called 'religious' Christians are content to be about the origins of the doctrines they follow.
