If you heard a million time, I would think you would understand them better. You still seem to be struggling to see how it all works together. Christianity must be seen as a complete systematic worldview and does not stand or fall on this objection or that.

You're right.  It falls under the weight of its own self-contradictions, illogical nonsense, and weak assertions with no credible evidence to back them up.

Merely saying, "No, you obviously don't understand" isn't much of a rebuttal, even with its veiled insult.  And so far, that's all you have.  "No, you," and "Wait until daddy comes home!  Then you'll be sorry!" posts for as far as the eye can see.  Even Drich attempts, in his failed floundering, to bring more to the table.  At least he sometimes tries to dive deeper than finger waggling and special pleading.

Also, keep in mind, like many here, I was raised in a Christian household.  Catholic, to be precise.  I'm not completely unaware to what the foundation of the religion is.  It's just that I wised up and saw it for the tangled mess of borrowed myths, utter nonsense, and repackaged common sense it actually is.

But, yes, I love how just about every Christian, when faced with someone who doesn't simply swallow their BS, goes for weak jabs like you did.  "Pshaw pshaw, for someone who claims they're so smart, you obviously have no clue.  Hahaha."  As though that actually refutes anything I or anyone else actually said.  Maybe that kind of misplaced smug condescension works among the people you surround yourself with, but it doesn't work on me.  All it does is reinforce how much of a textbook case of Dunning-Kruger you actually are.  GC pulls the same crap and it works just as poorly.  It's a tactic that relies on public shaming and peer pressure, and in the face of religion, I feel neither.  Try again.

If you have some deep, meaningful knowledge or wisdom you think will change my mind, by all means, share it.  I'm open to any possibility.  But it needs to stand up to scrutiny.
