@tpaine

Pardon me, but there's simply no sense in what you have just written. Can you come again?

Must say part of the text is/was subtly obfuscated?
Having admitting that. Can you be more specific or detailed on which is unambiguous and which was vague?

Have any of you guys watch the movie “Bruce Almighty” at all

Anyways that’s besides the point, here’s a quick chip in - will follow up later.

Mull this over. For starters, our sensory organs have a threshold – there is more that meets the proverbial eyes better still more than it presently can see.  There is a limit that our degraded and degenerated brain/body can process, as with Man’s imitation - the computer; without a beefed up specs, too much data crunching can overload and blow it up.  There is also the need to be wary of GIGO. Robocop was and is susceptible to malfunctioning

It is confidence that permits a Creator to make a creature and literally let it loose to free-will caprice and self-whim(s) without any sense of insecurity and knowing well that “Yeah I can handle it”.

Christianity is not about religion but rather about relationship and fellowship

Imagine a talking and philosophy furniture thinking it knows it all than the Carpenter ,

@ Tpaine
- Oh no! Against my better judgement I have succumbed to logging back in instead of jumping in to bed for the night
- Your prompt fascinating précis is worth it
- I am only going to be in here for a few secs or a few minutes - fatigue is slipping in, I am making blunder(s) and typo errors, need to tuck in for the night thats without a doubt.

Was a Christian but abandoned the belief system when I was about 16/17 years old, for freethinking and rationalism.  What motivates me particular is the pursuit of truth and the eradication of pernicious belief systems that retards human progress.

In order words, I am passionate for truth from a purely heuristic perspective. For we appreciate nature better and our place in it when the quest for such knowledge is objective and unbiased. Secondly, I hate to see human progress retarded by wilful ignorance, such as we see with the opposition to stem cell research and the teaching of evolution. In summary my motivation is truth and science is the only reliable epistemic method we have for revealing the truth.

Interesting assertions in the quotes above. Yep we are the ultimate "computer" - the natural and first processing unit made. The great minds of past such Issac Newton, Gallileo etc trawled to some degree similar path(s) profess (i.e. philosophy, science, history, literature, jazz, etc). My presumption that you are an intellectual aws correct - intelligence, maturity and experience is/was sensed. However inasmuch as I genuinely respect your candid and blunt opinion(s),  you might have to expatiate on a few of your estimations in such areas below:

1) The disillusion with Christianity; what was the trigger or catalyst for that?
1b) Who is a Christian, what is a Christian
2) The heuristic alternative; Science? Why science?
3) The Truth; what is the Truth, who is the Truth, where is the Truth?
4) Evolution, Darwinism hmm? How, why?
5) Which pernicous system was/is retarding human progress
5b) How, where and when was the pernicous system doing this?

Thanks for obliging mate 

@ tpaine & imhotep (gender unknown)

First thanks to both of you for the indirectly & directly provided resource(s) of St Aquinas.

However with all due respects, what are your background(s) - you both obviously to some degree are thinkers or scholars of some sort, dare I add, truth-seekers?, hmm?

I am curious of what your motive(s) or agenda are (i.e. what makes you tick, your passion(s), excitement(s), zeal and delight(s); this is posed particularly without favoritism to Tpaine  whom it seemed stirred up the " Christianity and the Basic Bible Test" thread - Tpaine please excuse my apparent ignorance or unawareness of the past/previous  "throwing down the gauntlet literally" contribution(s) made. Put it down to been a JJC in the house J

It will be a privilege if you both do oblige ,

Olunifemi

@Olunifemi's - If you mean "crazy" in a positive and pleasurable anticipated way, well kudos to you and your partner for been pleased about it. You see, we are "fearfully and wonderfully made , moreso wonderful is this work (i.e. the tool) - this we know full well" Need I say more? 

@Keba's - Ideally there shouldn't be any fear, inhibition, shyness, self-consciousness, hang-up(s) or reserve when enjoying this divine and fantastic gift - if its a pony ride that does the business with an extra mile, so be it   

@Tufe's & Ituen's
Perversion? Where? When? How? Enjoying a pony ride,  a perversion? ",

Una just dey discuss in offensive language when elders dey around
