We have almost FOUR HUNDRED posts on this thread. I haven't read them all, but I have scanned an awful lot of them.
So far, I haven't found ANYONE besides you and me who has noticed this problem in the original article. The Christians are just focusing on the positive features. And the scoffers do not seem to be profiting overly much from the discussion one way or the other.
Weird, huh?
The real focus in this area is not to intellectualy "prove" the existence of God, but rather, show that all the so called intellectual "proofs" that he doesn't exist are even more intellectualy bankrupt than so-called "proofs" that he exists.
Once someone can be freed of these silly non-arguments, their spirit is free to seek Him at a spirital level, ask Him into their heart, and then, and only then, realize what they were missing.
Of course, once this happens, they end up in the company of other Christians, flawed individuals all. That's when the trouble begins. That is why I have no faith in religion or, for that matter, other Christians. My faith is in Christ alone. He is the only one that will not let me down. That was impressed upon me in my earliest days as a believer by a very devout man who later ended up in the gutter (we are self destructive, aren't we?).
It's funny, most people shun Christianity because they feel they will lose all their freedom, and yet, for me accepting Christ is the most freeing thing I ever did.
Oh well, as long as they're seeking, they will find Him. Their very presence on this thread is very positive...
