Fljotsdale, you have to remember you were arguing points about things you do not believe. For you a mere exploration in literary analysis, rather than things you experience day to day.
As such the beliefs and experiences that sustain and enrich your life were not continually called into question.
As much as I asked, you never in fact posted a "grand unified theory", merely contenting yourself with attempting to pull mine (and others) down.
Considering we can only ever prove we exist as a concious entity it's always going to be easier to poke holes in someones "truth".
This "truth" of mine is the source of so much healing and reason for living. Continually having to defend that - verbally or in writing - can end up quite annoying to say the least. Faith has it's own ebbs and flows. Like love in a relationship.
How annoying would it be for someone to be continually telling you your spouse was a rat fink for example? The relationship is complex enough without the third party grinding away.
The majority of humans who believe the bible to be the inspired word of God, do have an experience of Jesus Christ - Y'shua - as being God himself. Confirmed not only in the written word but in day to day situations.
As you do not have that second frame of reference from which to draw on and analyse, you will never see eye to eye with a believer such as myself.
Hence the futility of further circular discourse.
