Mythbusters

Ever see that Discovery channel show MythBusters? You know, the one where they take a commenly held idea -- like a portapotty can explode if too much Methane builds up in it, or if you're in a falling elevator you can survive if you jump up in the air at the very last second-- and test it by recreating the situation in a scientific way to prove if it is plausable or not? Well, what if we figure out a way to do that with commonly held ideas about the Christian faith? Stuff like "the Bible says that God helps those who help themselves" or "Christians are the happiest people". Well, the Bible never says that and maybe Christians aren't the happiest people.
