Thank you for your fine contribution, which I take as much addressed to "all" as to me.

There is great correspondence between my structure of belief and philosophical Christianity and those who are familiar with my posts will, I think, agree that I am among the most effective debaters against the so-called Theory of Evolution as well as for Christianity as the essential foundation of Western Civilization. We part ways, I think, when specific doctrine and dogma and the primacy of the institutional church come into play. But this in no way degrades or overcomes my deep respect for and agreement with philosophical Christianity.

I could go more into my structure of belief with the outcome that it might cause controversy here but that, I think, would be counter-productive. The "bottom line" for me is that Christianity is reponsible for Western Civilization, for very good and specific reasons, and I would not want to live in a non-Christian society, so I would emphasize those areas of correspondence to which I refer.
