That is tricky, Ed. As it happens I am, as I've said before, a practising Christian (though some sects would not agree). I am also a scientist and mathematician by training and career. So I don't fall neatly into either camp and am no doubt to some extent reviled by both.

So when I challenge Pete it is not on the grounds of nature of God, though there could a good discussion on that from a few members here. It is that the 'greatest commandment' is that you should love God with, amongst other things, your whole mind. So every challenge I make can be expressed in the form "does this look like a determined effort to use your whole mind? If so, have I missed something?"
