If there is a creator, so what?

[The Grand Nudger]

Thanks for your interest, but your lack of interest in the sort of discussion I'd like to have tells me it would be best to just let you have the last word here.

What sort of discussion is it that you'd like to have?  I've been asking, and I;ve seen the sort of discussion you've been -having-.

You know what I think?  I think that you don't know how to get from the academic interest that we both share to what you really want to tell me about. That probably has something to do with your pedestrian rationalizations up to this point. You didn;t properly set the framework to build a cathedral, more of a mud hut. You made god the equivalent of oxygen. Necessary, perhaps, but unremarkable in it's necessity to that other thing you can't seem to find the pathway to.

I'll be frank, your inability to take that next step is puzzling, to me. I have no trouble with it. I didn't need 16 pages of setup to approach or discuss it. No arguments required, no bullshit "aren't you interested in truth?"s. I can assume that your god exists as described and quickly explain why it doesn't matter to -me-. Is it really beyond the pale to expect that you would be able to do the same, even if, ofc, in reverse?

If there is a creator, and further, if that creator is your creator, then so what? Will that change anything for me? Can you think of some reason that it would or should? Assuming the truth of your beliefs is -why- I'm not a christian....so.....how does arguing for their truth or rationality alter my appraisal or their relationship to me? Don;t get hung up on the "if" bit, you can have that for purposes of discussion - with me- unless you make this entire thing -about- it. Try approaching the "so what" bit, eh? Or, I guess, you can excuse yourself in a pointless attempt to seek some high ground, pointless...because I already granted you that as well.
