Are you thinking now? What you are are thinking is a concept, a model, which described reality. This is neither good nor bad, but simply the way human beings think. However, would you not agree that your concepts of reality are different from what they attempt to model? What happens when a human being gets so stuck in their own concepts that they lose track of reality-that-is? Lots of things. From my perspective, I find that both you and the Christians have a way to view the world. You each think that your way is the most useful. You each miss out on the distinction between reality and concepts of reality, though, so the whole thing is simply odd from where I look, until it leads to intolerance and hatred (wow -- not only do I confuse my concepts with reality, but I am willing to imprison, kill, label insane, confiscate the children of people who do not share my concepts) at which point it becomes tragic.
