A lot of Christians would object to that quite strenuously, and quite a few Muslims would stone you if you say these words in a wrong country.

That's why it's important to highlight the inconsistencies in the very logic of the religion.

Does it matter for what we're discussing?

I strongly disagree. Important towards what end? And if that end is getting people to be less religious, I think this is one of the least effective ways to make that point. Trying to dissuade a religious person in the basis of the logical inconsistencies in their religion is the le atheist approach, and seems to be most compelling to the agnostic and atheist crowds.
