All of those involved in the religious debate (and anyone else) are invited by Nept to continue the discussion here:

A preface to the above thread:
“Nowhere did I imply I've not studied the bible - I merely asked your opinion as someone purportedly knowledgeable. I was raised catholic, my mother taught sunday school, I attended church twice per week, and my godmother's the head of the largest organization of nuns in Canada; indeed, half the books I own are biblical in nature. I'm also well-versed in other religions, and am one of the few people to have ever invited representatives from the church of jesus christ of latter day saints into my home.
These aren't the railings of an ignorant athiest.”
It is ironic that you're citing wisdom and open-mindedness as important qualities. You're so unwilling to read, listen, and understand that you've missed the entire point of my post: that religion has been, and continues to be, a source and defender of ignorance. Given the facts (as listed), any position taking the opposing stance is absolutely untenable.
“Wise up and do some listening.”
