Last one from me, but does ANYONE ELSE see the humor here???
@Dogmum, whom I’m sure is a fine Christian woman who means well, can say to ME, “You’re a smart man Bingo but have you missed your choice by 12-14 inches? You overthink the simple thing God does for each of us and don’t allow your heart to believe.”
No self-righteousness or judgmental attitude THERE, eh? 
Just a kindly observation that I overthink things and don’t allow my heart to simply believe in God.
I explain at length that I in fact DO have a very well-informed and deep faith in God, just not the simple (or simple-minded) “just believe” sort of faith exemplified by Dogmum and many, many others.
THIS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. Dogmum demands to know who made ME her judge, huh??? I’m just a “self-righteous” troublemaker! Dogmum is DONE with me, so there!
Because Dogmum is one them there Real Christians, she can sit in judgment as to where I’ve gone astray and whether I even know God. Flip the script, however, and Dogmum rapidly comes unglued.
Do I view a well-informed faith as “superior” to an uninformed one? Yes, I suppose I do for the same reason that I view any well-informed position or decision as superior to an uninformed one. Does God care? Probably not. (On the other hand, I doubt God cares about 47 things Dogmum thinks are important either.)
Contrary to what Dogmum suggested about me, I did not suggest Dogmum wasn’t a perfectly fine Christian with a deep and authentic faith in God, I simply attempted to EXPLAIN to Dogmum why I don’t, and never could, operate at the same simple-minded level of faith at which she chooses to operate. It’s as alien to me as people who actually believe in Scientology.
Like all Christians who operate at this level, Dogmum can’t handle an actual discussion. It’s why all Christian forums are what I described in my initial post in the thread Isn’t this the problem with all Christian forums? - General Faith - Christian Forums at Crosswalk. Those with Dogmum’s sort of faith want nothing but Christian “happy talk” that doesn’t challenge their thinking. And that’s fine if this is how a forum wishes to operate - but it does make for a rather dull forum, don’t you think?
Christian belief exists along a very broad and diverse spectrum and always has. Those who occupy the Sunday School La-La Land niche can’t accept this. In their theology, a simple-minded. unquestioning, literalist, doesn’t-matter-if-it-makes-sense sort of “faith” is the only Real Christianity and the only variety pleasing to God. Well, I’m guessing probably not. I’m inclined to think God gave us minds for a reason.
