I think you vastly oversimplify who I am and what I know and believe. That's fine.
There is no need for you to believe in G-d other than the fact that G-d exists and He is the one, ultimately, with whom you have to do. I also have no need to convince you other than my general humanitarian bent. Your belief or unbelief has no impact on me.
But when I mention something factual about G-d, such as it is easier to accept the deity of Jesus once you have met Him, don't read that as a hook. Read that as a factual statement, such as you telling me that it would be much easier to avoid falling off of things if I knew more about gravity.
Shalom.
Or not.

It might be more effective to teach you about balance.
