Daseal,

I know you said you were done with this thread and I realize it has taken on a life of its own, but I wanted to address this point - just because of your curiosity.

Part of the Christian experience, and I'm certain this is true most other religions, is the fact that, through study of and meditation on the writings of the "ancient book", you can feel and see God - just not with your fingers and eyes. It's as I said in one of my long posts, if you condition your acceptance of the infinite on the abiltiy to prove its existence through finite, tangible experience then it simply can't be done. It's like trying to explain color to a person who has been blind all their life - if they refuse to believe that color exists unless they can prove its existence through their working senses, it just can't be done.
