You claim that those debating are either simply attacking you and being insulting or that they are simply ill-informed and that their arguments have no rationale. No-one is attacking christianity, I for one hate the idea of religion NOT solely that of christianity. No religion makes sense. That's the point of science. To make sense of things. We model atoms as nucleons orbited by electrons, to give a visualisation that enables us to explain their behaviour, it is doubtful that they actually LOOK like that. I forgot the point I was trying to make. It was something along the line of god being a metophor for creation and not actually being an existing thing more like an idea of a thing. Like time. Ask a physicist what time is and they'll tell you it's something measured by a clock. We know time has significance but we can't explain it so we invent an idea of it in an effort to explain it. Acient philosophers like christ were a little like early scientists. They attempted to explain existence, the problem is they had nothing to go on so they told everyone what they imagined it to be like, without explaining that this is what they think, not neccesarily what is truth. So to this day people who think this person or that person got it right hang on to these beliefs because they are so mentally frail they need an explanation of their existence. Damn I'm not very good at this. <span id='postcolor'> Where did it all come form? But the point is that Christianity is about people not the phsycal world. Einstein (a religious man) said that it is impossible to describe the sense of the divine to those who do not have it. I think I shall end on this idea. Why don't we drop this dead donkey?

You see we are from Russia but currently live in the U.S. My Dads friend Serguei had a brother who was in the Vosdushniye Sile, or Airborne forces. Serguei's brother was assigned with his battalion size task force to some country in lower Russian like Uzbekistan or Tajikistan, dont remember which but it was after the CCCP collapsed, and this battalion was sent to clean up a base for troops that would be following. After being dropped off the men set to work..... It was pretty much done and a general and one of his staff came for inspection. After taking a quick tour around the base followed up by a traditional welcome with zakuski and vokda the general decided he wanted to go hunting. Now let me tell you, in this region there are a lot of wild boers or small cows or something of that sort. Now the general and his aide grabbed two AK-74, a box of ammo, rations, radio, and some vodka ( of course) and jumped into their gazik. They left the base promising to come back in a day. Well a day passed, the troops thought they decided to stay the night and camp out. Another day passed...the personal got worried as there was no word of them, no radio contact, nothing....<span id='postcolor'> Guns and Vodka don't mix!

    Mid east

    I agree with you, though the situaton is a little more complex. The land was fairly partitioned by the British under UN mandate, if the Israelis withdraw from Palestine, grant them a state and the Palestinians accomodate themselves with Israel there can be peace. The road to peace is paved with compromise and toleration.
