Peter,

You write so well (all your posts in every thread) that I hesitate to even bring this up. It's just that the 3 point post, while well-written and definitely a majority opinion, from this "christian's" point of view arrogantly accepts a priori that no religion is objectively true.

While it can probably safely be asserted that no religion is empirically true, most people of faith DO believe that what they believe is true--that's the nature of religions. It doesn't mean that religions can't live together in a pluralistic society, though those days for the USA are numbered.

Jesus had a message (according to my read of the Gospels) that was inclusive--"Whosoever will come" and exclusive (not "coming" held more than an implied condemnation). I don't find a Gospel that implies a "searching" Jesus, as my read of your post seemes to imply.
