I mean no disrespect but you confuse the crap out of me. I think I may understand your point yet not fully.

Thanks and if I may ask a question without putting yourself out to much? Like I originally asked in the op I am curious what brought you to the point to where you believe your correct in your belief? Research or personal experience?
No worries if your not comfortable sharing I don't want anyone to put anything forward that makes them feel uncomfortable as faith is a very personal thing.

ANY religion that makes people feel like they are a piece of crap is worthy of ridicule.

Very good explanation of your thought process. I think the way things like faith cannot be firmly calculated like math is true it does leave a door to get caught up in semantics. But I am guilty of it just like most others.
One thing I rarely see is what you wrote here....

I'm fine with being wrong and chances are I am which is cool. Means I have more to learn.

I never see anyone on here trying to convert another... that's weird.

We agree in the aspect of a theology that teaches that someone is not worthy is a bad thing especially when it comes to kids.
Growing up in the church I always had a problem with the idea that I could never be worthy, no matter what. Just didn't make sense to me.
The religion may be ridiculous, but the people that have come to gain some hope or truth within it do not deserve that ridicule.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
