Just because I chose correctly, it doesn't follow that I am smarter. I think it means that the witness of the Apostles and those who have followed in their footsteps has struck me differently then those who have chosen to ignore this witness. In the end, if God will judge me to be wiser if I persevere, then so be it; He will judge me according to His wisdom, not mine. But it doesn't make me smarter than an atheist with a Ph.D. I don't feel that my I.Q. went up after I chose to follow Christ.

As to love, I would say that Christ's love is shining through my actions much more clearly than someone who chooses not to love.

How about more Godly wisdom than the other guy. Hope you know I wasn't talking about a PhD in Physics - if you did not then let's make it clear that I am talking about the wisdom of God not the wisdom of man.

I claim that your view is that through your own natural reason/free-will you chose God but the other guy did not. You used the teaching of your Church wisely in your view, the other guy did not.

Any chance we can agree on that?
