'Are you indicating that belief in a Theistic Creator is
'superstition' ? How did you arrive at that conclusion based on your
research ? Thanks.

Viewed from the outside, it is painfully obvious. Imagine you just
arrived from Mars and started to study the religious behavior you found
on Earth.'

REPLY:   Well, if you think the 133 very narrow scientific parameters
(so far discovered) of our Solar System which are all needed,
simultaneously, so earth can survive and so humankind could be
started....arrived without the intervention of a Personal Mind and Will
(or in other words ' willy-nilly ')...perhaps you can explain how and
why they all decided to get together to accomplish this specific goal ;
was it just a cosmic tea party that turned into a productive meeting of
some sort , in your estimation ?

If i came from Mars I would certainly know , intrinsically, that
something could not arrive from nothing without a willful cause behind
it.  In fact,  I would break out into horrific laughter that many
Earthlings think they were the product of accidental / ancient Pond Scum
which developed into a 206 bone human being with a brain informational
capacity far exceeding The LIbrary of Congress ... all so they can feel
justified in rejecting the most obvious of all things :  That  a
personal Creator has to exist which is beyond his finite
Creation....which bolsters their ulterior motive of doing life THEIR way
which always involves a good dose of immoral living.

Belief in The Creator isnt 'religion' by the way.... is backed by the
actual Laws of Science  for which many agnostic Scientists are admitting
left and right -- id be pleased to list a few if you are truly
interested ;  contrary to the fairy tale that life arose from dead
matter (Spontaneous Generation) which was totally disproven in the last
century, that fully renders Macro Evolution an utter fraud perpetuated
on the masses.  It will one day play out like this :

Setting : Mrs. Thompsons 3rd Grade Class
Year :  2566

Mrs Thompson :' Class...today we are going to take a look at a 20th
century popular theory which many at that time actually thought was fact
Many believed that a tiny one celled  Pond Protozoa swimming around in
scum with nothing better to do,  became a fully developed 6' tall Human
Being over millions of years, by chance, for no apparent reason....'

(the class roars with uncontrollable laughter  until Mrs. Thompson
regains order...)  

Look friend....its going to be far better for you to stop pretending
that there is no Creator to whom you will one day be responsible to,
than to suppress your God given moral conscience so you do as you darn
well wish.  I was once where you are today, and, there is real freedom
from being set apart from the utter foolishness and being duped by our
present Culture on lifestyle choices and anti-Creator rhetoric.  Turn
from your sins, admit your sins to God, trust Jesus who is historically
verifiable,  tell God you want to live for him and him alone...then
surrender your life to his leadership.  Then you will have eternity with
him instead of getting what you always wanted while here on earth :
Great distance.  Dont go and mess up your entire eternity due to pride.
Please.

Email me if you want to discuss this vital fact, further.  And with
this, i shall conclude this discussion...which IS relevant to your (RV)
life and beyond.

My door is always open ,

Regards, Dave.

And the problem is that most Christians IMHO are invisible.  They just go on
living their lives.  Doing the next right thing.  Trying to help others.
They are the ones that will be taken at the Rapture, and those who will
inherit the earth.  They are the silent, the invisible, the ones who don't
even enter into this conversation because it is futile to argue with idiots.

Believe what you will.  Live your life accordingly, I say.  Each person is
the one who will answer for it ultimately.  If there is no God, no big deal.
If there is, then there's hell to pay.  Each man bets his eternity on it,
and hopes he's right.

As for me and my house, we choose to serve the Lord.

Given that I was reacting to boorish, aggressive proselytizing by
persons who seemed bigoted, intolerant and ignorant to me, I take your
point that my labeling Christianity in general as a cult is
unreasonable, unfair and incorrect. However there are many calling
themselves Christians who talk and act like cults (to say nothing o
fthe Inquisition and the Crusades). And yes, I think contempt does
describe my attitude.

But I have nothing but admiration and respect for persons who are
trying to follow the teachings of Jesus and/or who look to each other
for spiritual gudance and who care about morals and ethics.

Thank you for helping me clarify my remarks.
