Christianity becomes a lie, a myth, and of absolutely no positive value.

How about the historical sense then. Have lots of independent corroboration about the person and the events mentioned. I think we can corroborate the fact that Geo. Washington existed and did what the history books said he did.
What positive value does it currently have? When weighed with the negative it has done over the years, I am not sure that it will come out positive. How do you know it won't come out similar to what a nuclear reactor is in a child's hands. Has some potential but highly dangerous with the huge possibility of abuse.
