As a non creationist Christian (I believe the man and the message, but not the mythology), I have an image in my mind of Judgement Day, when people like Iona (willfully ignorant) and Pete(woefully misled) will face whatever God they believe in (there's probably only the one, but hey....?) and hear his judgement.

He will say ""I put you on this Earth with the advantages of both intelligence and free will. How then can you be so stupid as to believe that a concoction, BY MEN, of fable myth and legend driven by a desire to control others, could possibly be the inerrant expression of my will. How could you worship a God whose inerrant word was so full of contradiction, cruelty and vengeance, when the only direct instructions I gave were "Love one another" and "Go forth and multiply"?

I hope they have a very good answer ready.
