Holy macaroni did you write a lot about what I said without understanding a word I said.

You impugn me with intent and ideas that are not mine that I went out of my way to demonstrate I don't believe. You have put your words in my mouth for no reason I can understand other than it makes it easier for you. Maybe 66 years isn't enough to become a careful and thoughtful reader; 45, clearly, hasn't been enough for me to become a good writer.

I'm not sure it's worth going deeper here, but suffice to say you definitely did not get what I was putting down and I'm not really inclined to try and clarify. If you want me to go through your post and point out where we diverge, I will, but otherwise, I said what I wanted to say, feel free to re-read it or not.

Well, I'll add a couple points. For one, I'm EXACTLY 50% Fundamentalist Atheist. That's how I was raised.

For another, what You go outta Your way to demonstrate what You don't believe doesn't necessarily mean You DON'T believe these things. You just can't open Your eyes to the mere POSSIBILITY that You could be wrong, so of COURSE You're not gonna read between the lines of what You DO say.
