I don't think anyone who has read the entire thread can really posit that everyone here has been entirely "against" Christianity. As a matter of fact, one (I am assuming) atheist proposed I simply change my concept of God to an impersonal one, which is more on par than rejecting a notion of God all together. I'm mostly agnostic, but deism best describes my thoughts of a god if one existed.
Atheists carry infinitely more intellectual honesty than the fundamentalist Christian. Even in the most liberal churches, you will find evangelical fundies waiting to dump on you the same old stuff. That's why I'm here, talking to people who mostly share my same *actual* beliefs: that humans are primates, the Earth is billions of years old, that there is no personal god, etc.
I appreciate you reply. I wouldn't have a problem exchanging ideas with you.
Great!
But you and I are not fundamentalists; we're Catholics, and Catholic theology is far more mature and nuanced than that of which you speak, agreed?
As you probably know, the Church has no problem with evolution, for example.
