Why do you post here as from an ivory tower, "your claims cannot be taken seriously by 'thinking people'? 
How arrogant is that statement when it is obvious that you consider yourself to be one of those "thinking people"? The rest of us who don't agree with you are thereby dismissed as non-thinking people. Do you not think that that is how the Pharisees looked upon the majority of Jews in Our Lord's day, 'non-thinking people' ? Non-thinking people like the Publican in the Parable who acknowledged his sins and asked for mercy inside the door of the Synagogue.
