Christine,

<< Everything I have read that makes sense >>

How do you know that you really know what makes sense? It's very subjective after all. At one time the most intelligent on earth thought the earth was flat, then that the universe orbited the earth. As we limp along towards knowledge how do you know how far along you are? It's so obvious that you blatantly pick and choose the flavor of what you believe in your reading to satisfy your own taste buds. You say we are deluded, but you delude yourself with your own tunnel vision that is every bit as bigoted at you accuse us of. You are entirely subjective, although you remain polite. How can you objectively test the hypothesis that Jesus Christ is God and He came in the flesh, died on a cross and was raised from the dead all to free you from sin and death? Not from the writings of other flawed men. You have to admit that you don't know. And you cannot know unless you were to meet Jesus Himself. Not meeting someone does not prove that they don't exist. So His absence from your life proves nothing. Can you throw aside subjective thinking? The most objective thing you could say would be that you don't know.

Bob

of his "answers" probably came from heavy use of psychedelic drugs. <

Dissenting opinion. The flavor of Jesus' New Testament teachings does not fit the pharmacology of psychedelic use. Perhaps heavier disorienting drugs, such as atropine?
