I'm probably talking to a brick wall here, but it would do some of you some good to look up newer research on other socials species.
The only part of your rather lenghty post I'm willing to accept, is the security part and the one about not being comfortable with not having all the answers. Classic god of the gaps. Classic cavemen, looking up at the sun and the moon, not being able to explain their nature and calling them gods. Yes, people want security, they want to feel cherrished and they want to be taken by the hand. But that's about all.
So, you are saying that you know why people become Christians and its not for the reasons they think. Do you really think that is a defensible position?
