> You have chosen to reject God.

If it helps you sleep better to believe that, go for it. In all honesty, your simplistic views are entertaining.

> You are playing the victim

Only if you believe that those who think for themselves are "victims." I happen not to agree.

> I'm not any form of 'Super Christian' but I do want others to experience the love of Christ, and I share it with them.

And you insult and berate and rebuke those who do not believe as you do. Your choice.

> What would it say about me if I rejected all the truths in God's word, and ran away from Christianity because of this ignorant, and very UN-Christ-like Christian in my past?

Well, if you were *surrounded* by such nonsense for years, coming from a multitude of sources... it would say you've grown up.

Hearing Creationist claptrap from a few random nutjobs would not be enough to de-Christianize too many people. But noting the relatively vast size of the movement leads a rational person to understand that a good chunk of the religion is based on hogwash. If a religion claims to be Inerrant, and yet is massively and obviously flawed on some pretty basic facts, then seeing it as a lie becomes not just easy, but inevitable.

For the record: I have not "rejected God." I have rejected *you*, however. And since you see yourself as God's representative, you see rejection of you and your beliefs as rejection of God.

You would not be the first person to hold yourself up as God's equal in these matters, and you won't be the last.

I have pointed you repeatedly away from me, a sinner, to Jesus, the sinless; from me, the creation, to God, the Creator.

I don't want you to pay a single bit of attention to what I've said, other than to go to God's Word and read what it says.

Peace, orion.
