I mention how they prefer clinging to false caricatures of Christianity so they can easily dismiss them and they come up with more make-believe theological controversies to hallucinate about.
I agree with Crossless above. Why not examine Baptist theology vis Swedenborgian and start tallying off the inconsistencies and contradictory view points? I'm sure there'll be some agreements (A 'christian' Jewish deity, Jesus, resurrection etc), but what of the disagreements? What do we do with those?
"You just don't want to believe" indeed.
We both believe in Christ as our savior, we believe He is the Son of God, He died for our sins and was raised from the grave. We believe in a virgin birth and subscribe to Christ's teachings. Those are the things that save us, they are what actually count and all the other things are denominational differences, they have nothing to do with being saved. Yes we have differences but, we also have salvation as the other Christians here do. One other thing ever notice that the atheist here start almost every thread about hell, interesting wouldn't you say.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
