Intelligent Design

[Whateverist]

I would, you know why?  There is no atheist priesthood.  An alien concept, obviously, since you chose to make that comment...but there it is.  To be brutally honest, I'd dismiss christianity even if christ himself appeared on my couch.

That doesn't surprise me. Can I ask why nothing could convince you of Christianity?

Not addressed to me, but I need no help at all in being convinced of Christianity.  It exists.  Obviously.  But the sad thing is the simplistic, literal level at which it is understood by so many of its practitioners.  There are some who hold its truths symbolically with whom I have no disagreement.  The proliferation of fundamentalism saddens them as much as it does me.

God, understood correctly, is not pleased that you wish to remain in an infantile relationship toward Him.
