fr0d0,you said "Again you attack my belief as if millenia of eeking out the truth is somehow invalid because it doesn't employ scientific verification where that is shown not to apply."
The so called eeking out truth is invalid if it is being sought in the realms of superstition based on ignorance and fear. The Christian worldview is the same as all the former religions that preceeded it. When tragedy strikes a tribe;God is angry, sacrifices must be made to gain his favor (O.T.), when good things happen; God is happy. Judaism follows the same formula of all religious mythologies of old, is this a coincidence?
Sin+sacrifice=redemption before Christ it was various animal sacrifices to appease or keep Jehova happy. The sacrifices were not sufficient enough to completely redeem man before god so then we needed a more perfect sacrifice. In comes Christ. Christianity is nothing more than an updated version of this age old formula.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
