At the moment I can't see that this discussion is being productive of
anything except the assertion of certain points of view and then their
(somewhat aggressive) defence. I respect your faith in God, but do not
share it, as many do not here. I expect you to respect the views of others,
just as I expect them to respect yours, and I expect all members of this
list to refrain from expressions of bigotry or personal abuse. These are
simple rules, made to prevent discourse between people of differing views
degenerating into flame wars, and are fairly easy to abide by. I certainly
have no intention of policing this list for blasphemy, or of shutting down
legitimate debate.
Others have questioned your assumptions; I do not read that as intolerance.
If you are not interested in debating your beliefs, why raise them here?
Best
