I see you've now revealed you're a monotheist and not just merely an "open-minded agnostic". No wonder you seemed too exposed to theistic and Christian materials/resources and did not pay much attention to secular ones.

What's the next thing you're going to tell us about yourself? You're a Catholic? If so, just say so now. Don't hide behind terms like "open-minded" and act like as if you don't have a definite view regarding God because you're being "objective". Very misleading of you.

I never stated that I was an agnostic.

And I'm still open-minded. 

Being open-minded, I am surprised that you would invite the Board to read Catholic theology.  The Catholic Church has contradicted itself and changed its mind on so many different issues.  Consider this:

It firmly believes, professes and preaches that all those who are outside the catholic church, not only pagans but also Jews or heretics and schismatics, cannot share in eternal life and will go into the everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels, unless they are joined to the catholic church before the end of their lives; that the unity of the ecclesiastical body is of such importance that only for those who abide in it do the church's sacraments contribute to salvation and do fasts, almsgiving and other works of piety and practices of the Christian militia produce eternal rewards; and that nobody can be saved, no matter how much he has given away in alms and even if he has shed his blood in the name of Christ, unless he has persevered in the bosom and the unity of the catholic church.

Over the last few centuries, the Catholic Church has abandoned a teaching which it, for over a thousand years, "firmly believed, professed and preached".  This is an historical fact, having nothing to do with theology.  Ditto for the Church's teachings on religious liberty and a whole host of other issues.  Catholicism is a man-made religion, not a "divine" one, which exist nowhere in the Universe, as god(s) does not exist.
