In response to two questions by Dave Norris:

I reacted negatively because of what I consider POOR WORDING OF A 
QUESTION, NOT because of my "hatered against Christianity"! Towith:

  "If I proved that Christ was the Son of God, would you consider Him?"

Consider him for what? My volleyball team?! 
Seriously,
Webster: Consider- 1. to think about with care or caution...
Sure I would "consider" him. I also consider my friends, a math puzzle,
economic issues, etc. 

I'm not attacking the wording here as much as I'm attacking the
vile accusations you are making about me and anyone else who reacted 
negatively. 
Remember, "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor." :-)

I readily agree that all too many people are not willing to examine an
emotional issue in a rational manner. However, a two question psychoanalysis
isn't sufficient to start making accusations.

Sorry for the smoldering embers, but I don't like having my character
attacked.
