Yes that's totally absurd. To whom are you responding? What I sought to convey is that the church has a distorted, warped concept of Yahweh, has incorrect assumptions about Him, has created an evil caricature of Him, has refused to praise Him for billions of years of labor (which is probably worse than spitting on the cross). I did NOT argue that Yahweh has failed to secure a following, that the gospel has failed, that there is no body of believers - you are putting words in my mouth. I'm sorry you misunderstood me - partially my fault, perhaps, since I used strong language to make a point.
Your being very vague here I don’t see what Plato has to do with anything taught in the early church. The early church received their teachings from the apostles. Saying for me to throw out everything I know about God because it came from Plato tells me absolutely nothing. Everything I know about God I learned from the scriptures. I’ve never stepped foot into a Catholic Church my entire life. I accept a 6 days creation because that’s what is written in the Bible and on top of that the genealogy accounts in the Bible puts the earth at just over 6,000 years. So not only would the creation account have to be incorrect but the genealogy accounts as well. I won’t take the word of some scientists over the word of God. If I’m going to be wrong then I’ll be wrong by trusting in the word of God not some atheist scientists looking to debunk God’s word and possibly even His existence.
