Forgive me Sandy, but you are being obtuse. You are personalizing an observation on an accepted and universal human psychological trait. My observation that fixed religious views are resistant to reason or evidence is hardly a revelation.
You seem to take this as a personal attack and an attack on Christianity. Why would my posts not apply equally to Islam, Zoroastrianism, or Hinduism?
Your responses make me suspect that you're insecure in your faith. If you were to question my fervent belief that there exists a large island in the Mediterranean called Crete where they speak Greek I would take no offense whatsoever. I would present my evidence for it and, if you rejected it, I'd just shrug it off.
You present yourself as a Christian. I thought Christian's valued faith -- which is essentially a belief in something without adequate evidence to support it. I'd expect you either to offer evidence countering my points, or to revel in your resistance/faith.
Your response to my observation that The Establishment has historically resisted innovation and new ideas is also rather bizarre. Why do you assume I'm not talking about Islam?
My statement is true. No-one with any knowledge of history could possibly deny this. Why do you feel so threatened by the obvious truth?
