No amount of thinking will cause me to think your thoughts which are not even coherent to me.
Your incomprehension concerning people such as Collins and myself is obvious. This is not to say that we are the same. I never considered myself an atheist. For me, not having been raised Christian, the question was never whether God exists but how to attach meaning to the word that would have some value. The question is why would you seek to prevent this thereby shutting the kingdom of God against men? The apparent answer is that people finding value in Christianity and a reason to believe in God doesn’t help you in a bid for power unless it is the same value and reasons as your own.
A more comprehensive comparison is found here in my study of his book. But expect you to see me as an enemy along with most of worldwide Christianity. That is what cults do. After rewriting the Bible with interpretations they make up as the only correct understanding of the Bible they then condemn everyone who dares to think differently.
It is not a question of motives but of the design inherent in a system of thought. If it is tailored for the use of religion as a tool of power and manipulation then the most likely origin of that way of thinking is people with such a purpose. When you truly put things in the hands of God then it no longer serves the interests of power and manipulation.
That is not what I see. I see you adding to the Bible so that you can pretend you speak for God and thus make yourself judge and savior. Jesus very clearly forbids us to do any such thing.
That is difficult to do when you have already insulted the people you report this to.
No doubt you would prefer the Bible to be all about obedience and leaving your brains at the door, but this is simply not true. The Bible is about wisdom, spoken of 349 times, constantly urging us over and over again to seek wisdom. Not simply to believe what Pharisees and religion users say, but to seek wisdom for ourselves from God Himself. And what does God say in all the sky and the Earth around us? You may not believe God created these things or simply call God a liar, but I do believe God is the creator of heavens and Earth and I do not believe He is lying to us.
