[I] Can't understand why ... a pure hoax, has such a profound ability to upset very smart, intelligent people.

Maybe they're just whistling past the graveyard....

A lot of people have invested a great deal of time and energy to fortify and shore-up themselves against God. If God really does exist, however, then they are in deep doo-doo, and I think the more thoughtful ones realize this. Therefore, God "can't possibly be true, because I'm so smart and I said so."

I know it's silly, even infantile. But deep-down, I really think that's how anti-Christian bigots think, and that's why they act the way they do. Look at Richard Dawkins: I've never seen anyone invest so much time and energy and sheer spite doing battle against what he insists does not and cannot exist: That would be God and soul.

But if God really doesn't exist, then why bother "doing battle" with Him? In the end, Dawkins comes across as an ersatz Don Quixote, tilting at windmills; but with far less charm, manners, and grace than the old Don had....

Honestly gobucks, I really think the whole world is going nutz these days.... Thanks so much for writing!

LoL... (humming)
To dream the impossible dream......
To fight the unbeatable foe........
To tell the incredible story.......
To BUY a warm bag of bull squeeze..
To Squeeze and the contents run all out.
To Concieve of Utopian visions.....
To Think of Earthly prognostications.
To limit my unlimited spirit to a Donkey.......

(chorus)
This is my quest, to follow that star ...
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far ...
To fight for the right, without question or pause ...
To be willing to march into Hell, for a Heavenly cause ...

Oh! sorry.. forgot my keyboard was on..

What about the Christians who are evolutionists? Are they Christian anti-Christian bigots? My head is spinning!

Dawkins is living proof that there's a huge difference between intelligence (which he clearly possesses) and wisdom (which he totally lacks).
