Because that doesn't touch the real reason why it is a disgrace for an educated adult to chose to be a Christian in the age of science and reason. It is as if one believes 2 and 2 makes 4 merely because one had a bad experience trying to fit in with the 2 and 2 makes 3 crowd, and not because one has devleoped any appreciation of the testable arithmetic principle.
