Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
You are an infrantry commander. Which would you rather have in your company, a 40 year old male private or a 20 year old girl, when the enemy is coming in a human wave attack?

Which ever one is most likely to keep cool under pressure and perform their job.
Honestly Ned, juvenile sexism? We expected more from you.
Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

Ned, it depends. First of all when we're discussing 40 year old male private's, I assume, well, yes of course. Anyway, it depends on the strength of the human wave attack. You know, I'm a realist, which makes me a sexist I suppose. I believe that girls are good at what girls are good at and guys are good at what guys are good at and guys are going to be generally better at slaughtering onrushing humans bent on killing me. (Nothing much for us guys to be too proud of really) So I'd take the 40 yr old guy. On the other hand, if the attack were so strong that it couldn't possibly be repulsed, the 20 yr old girl might make my last few minutes more pleasant, and I'd take the 20 year old girl...as many times as I could.
