Work on your word choice.
I agree with your central message, but you seem to have said it in a way that could be misinterpreted.
I.e. They "say what God wants" sounds like "God wants X and they express it" rather than "They say what they interpret to be God's desire".
Sorry to notpick. Not even an issue, really. More my problem than your or anyone else's.

My conclusion is that there is no reason to believe any of the dogmas of traditional theology and, further, that there is no reason to wish that they were true.
