Hoo boy...got a live one here. Well, FT...
That was a lot of...something? So you can take that as a 'considered, and rejected' as far as your reply. You literally defeated yourself with your own points and also injected a non sequitur into it. Don't much care for the rest, if people want to coin a phrase as something, that's fine, but as I pointed out, in order to believe what you believe, much thought must be suspended, ergo, not exactly a 'free' thinker in the literal sense. Your last few points also refute your position because there's no way you could have arrived at your conclusion in such a way as that which you describe. That's called a special pleading fallacy, if you wanted to say 'nuh-uh, I'm different'.
Forcing a restriction upon your critical thinking capacity logically precludes a completely free thinker in the literal sense. Try to weasel out of it all you want, you don't get to divorce yourself from the reality of it with friendly and disarming euphemisms. If you wanted to give the impression you were in some way superior to other theists in some bizarre way by masquerading as a critical thinker, I'm just telling you, don't insult our intelligence. If you truly believe you've got some inside knowledge or other pathway to arrive at your conclusion than anyone else, well, then that's even sadder and scarier.

Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
