You don't consider it prideful to think that you alone know the Truth, and all other Christians are mistaken and probably not Christian anyway?

Again, another strawman. I never made any such claim.

For the umpteenth time I offer this metaphor:

The words of God are like a seven faceted diamond.

Christians look at the diamond facing it from different aspects and therefore see things a bit differently.

But it is the same diamond and the same Light.

God is Light. Without the Light, there is nothing to be seen.

Any Christian will do fine as long as he stays in the Light.

This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. - I John 1:5-7

We were not made with a cookie cookie. Peter was not like John who was not like Paul who was not like doubting Thomas - but Christ chose every single, individual, one of them.

God's living Creation is a riot of color - a beautiful masterpiece. He doesn't mix all the colors into one on His palette.

To God be the glory!

That really is not very convincing to me, and I’m sure it’s not to many other Christians as well. Either there was a literal global Flood 4000-some years ago or there was not. You say there was not. Many other Christians say there was. Since the two options are mutually exclusive, that means one or the other of you must be wrong. You think that you are right (otherwise hopefully you would change your opinion, there doesn’t seem to be a good reason for embracing an opinion one knows is wrong. . .), that means you must think that the others are wrong. This isn’t some squishy “believe whatever you think is prettiest” thing, it’s a historical event that either did happen or did not.
