You do, however, seem to be drawn to religious things. I think d'fendr noted that recently, and there's really no denying it

My interests are Church and Bible history. Theological arguments, theories, well up I suppose as natural offshoots of that work.

For example I just discovered today that Act 13:48 in the Latin Vulgate Bible was altered under Augustine's (4th century) influence by inserting the prefix prae to the word ordinatti to conform the scriptures to Augustinian doctrine of predestination.

Thus, the verse reads praeoridnatti (pre ordianed, preset, prearranged) instead of simply arranged/ordained (oridantti) as it read before. Thus, more evidence of corruption of biblical manuscripts in the early Church for doctrinal reasons.

Fascinating. The things they didn't tell my in Sundays chool. :)

So where did you learn that from? Wesley?

Your reply is not responsive to xzins' question. He is asking "why" you would be interested.

Or to put it another way, why would an atheist be interested in someone he denies exists?

In many years of debate with atheists on this forum, I have noticed three types of atheists.

The first don't believe but don't care if you do. They are true atheists in my view. They simply don't care. They are unreachable.

The second don't believe and want to justify or excuse themselves to those who do. These I perceive are agnostic in their atheism. They are reachable.

The third are anti-God/anti-Christ activists. They hate God and are zealous to destroy all belief in Him. Like the demons, they obviously believe God IS. But they deplore Him. They are unreachable.

And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? - Acts 19:15

God's Name is I AM.
