Are we invoking "truthiness"? Boy I sure hope so. LOL, Clive, please don't ever feel that I'm challenging you, personally, to do anything. I'm not. I'm only reminding you (and anyone interested) of the silliness of your responses. This one included.
You don't feel that demonstrating a measure of truth would be a successful defense of the objection "anyone seeking truth would not end up a christian"? I think it would be pretty god-damned strong myself. Sure, they may end up a buddhist, or a secular humanist, but so long as there's some truth to christianity a person seeking truth could very well end up christian. The varying levels of "truthiness" of any two competing systems don't seem to preclude one from finding oneself in one or the other, ultimately, wouldn't you agree? Maybe if they were searching for "the most truth" (now that you've invoked varying degrees of truth I get to say that..don't I?) they wouldn't end up a christian - assuming there was more truth in buddhism.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
