The point is that it gets me the most out if life. I can very effectively deal with problems that would limit my full enjoyment of life. That's the only point in being a Christian.What exactly are these problems that your religion helps you deal with?

You have the information, but you don't understand it.Again, if there's some fact I don't have right that you can explain to me that will make me come around to your point of view, I'd love to hear it. Otherwise, when you say that I misunderstand something, you're really just saying that my interpretation of the information is incorrect. And obviously you think that, but I think you're wrong too. Obviously.
Misunderstanding is never a correct interpretation. If that were so someone would have successfully defeated it. That isn't the case.

Sure, I don't fully understand it, because you won't explain it in anything more than the vaguest terms, but I've acknowledged that. I have gone into clearly-marked conjecture as to what those posts might have meant, because you typically ignore me when I ask you to elaborate.
Look at the wildly inaccurate conclusions that you continually reach about my position. You don't understand it so how can you say I'm wrong? Please try to stick to saying things you know, rather than things you don't know.
Besides which--atheism isn't even close to viable? Who's dismissing who out of hand?
Quote:Ultimately, God, and therefore good, rules. In the end, God engineers everything to his own just and good conclusion, because God is just and good.So the answer to my question is yes, then? I'm not sure because, while that seems to match what I thought it was, you tell me again that I don't understand it.
