Your so-called rebuttal against the Catholic Church, Inquisition, et al, did nothing to discredit the central point that Galileo Galilei believed in God. His FAITH is the gestalt of this argument. You think your intellect superior over we dwarfs holding to religious “superstition”... and yet, I show you men of renowned intellect AND ACCOMPLISHMENT, men who demonstrated their belief in the Divine, their unshakable faith in the active hand of the omni-present, omni-prescient, omni-potent Godhead.

Sir, you cannot obliterate belief, faith, or conviction from men of good will. Only against those minds not yet formed, or against those whom have voluntarily surrendered their free will to evil inclinations, are you so able to attack and pervert to darkness. This explains why individuals of your ilk relentlessly target the most innocent… our children.

Sir, you hate God, and you despise men, whom He created in His image. While yet pretending to enlighten men’s minds, you seduce them into indifference and moral relativism.

Sir, you in fact desire to replace God’s salving grace with your own brand, which is neither saving nor grace. Your ilk has condemned men to slavery every since the Fall of Man in the Garden of Eden. Your words are no different than those clever lies of the wily serpent the devil; he who was Lucifer the Angle of Light, but is now Satan the prince of darkness. He, thinking his intellect superior to God’s, and believing in his own existence outside of God, rebelled against God his creator for reason of pride in created attributes: beauty and intelligence… the very gift of superior intellect given him by God, he abused; the very same gift present day atheists claim for themselves apart from God. Those who abuse the gift of intellect are reserved to the deepest depths of Hell, because that gift is close to God. Therefore the anticedent serves as a just punishment: They will be condemned to spend eternity closest to their chosen leader. Take heed, friend. You risk eternity.

Nice rant!

You can preach all you want, but I still prefer the results of The Enlightenment to those of the Inquisition.
