Religion and the new technology

46. So who exactly is this "we"

that is so far from a "heavenly father" concept of god? It certainly doesn't includes Catholics, Lutherans, Methodists, Episcopalians, Baptists, Presbyterians, Congregationalists, Orthodox, Anglicans, Mormons, Pentacostals, Muslims or Jews. Does it include anyone but your little clique of ivory tower academics and pompously progressive religionists? You've managed with a phrase to dismiss the beliefs of billions of religious people as outdated and irrelevant, which the absolute height of arrogance.

And your attempted analogy with science is even lamer than usual for you. Science progresses based on greater and greater understanding of demonstrably real objects and phenomenon. Switching theological horses when you have no idea whether your new version of "god" is any more real than the old one, isn't remotely similar.
