As long as you retain such prejudice and skepticism, there is no way I can convince you of anything, and I don't think anyone else here could convince you either.
Only the Holy Spirit can convict someone (which usually results in bringing one to his knees) -- and He doesnt convict just anybody:
For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. Romans 8:28-30
I believe I am less of an agnostic than most. I think there are, in fact, some good reasons for postulating that a motive intelligence informs the universe. However, I am not confused by that into thinking that I shouldn't struggle to understand as much as I can about the universe that can be discerned in a critical manner, by mundane reasoning about tangible evidence.
American christians could have stopped the murder by herbicide of nearly a million viet nam peasants, and nearly a million genocide victims of the Pol Pot regime, and many more since then, had they taken their moral precepts, as given in the bible seriously, and taken a principled stand. There are too many of them for our government to ignore. It made me angry then, it makes me angry now. I apologize if my response to this is discomforting. According to people like exmarine, our country is utterly christian since it's founding, so I see scant excuse for this. Unless all those overseas-slanteyes have Mideanite blood, of course.
I happily return these sentiments.
