IMHO, Mike is a victim of his own pride - it is just simply hubris. There is not the slightest hint of intellectual curiosity as to how the world came to be, sin and its consequences. Childlike faith is something Mike will never grasp. It is so sad.

I just preached on Matthew Chapter 5 this past Sunday... the “Beatitudes”. The first one - “Blessed is the poor in spirit” represents the fundamental state we must all reach to truly accept the Salvation of Jesus Christ. Mike has not found is way to that “poor in spirit” condition yet. I just pray that it happens BEFORE he leaves this world.
