I also wanted to ask you a question: What would it take for you to believe in Nessie?
If one of yours, like Neil deGrasse Tyson or Richard Dawkins or the editor of Snopes, had a Nessie sighting, would that make you believe in Nessie? Would you then leave your religion of Anessieanism in which you actively don't believe in Nessie?

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
