The assessments of a seeker is grain-of-salt territory.

You wouldn't listen to an unsure elevator inspector, would you?

So do you consider yourself a "knower"? Or should I not listen to you either?

They are. But it's also true that the irrational are found in all cultures. So it doesn't suggest that all cultures are rational, far less that all the members in a given culture are.

The fact that Christianity has spread worldwide is probably not based on irrationality.

I listen. But if you're wrong, then I simply don't agree.

Do you think that Christianity has spread worldwide because it appeals to irrationality?

I'm not agnostic about everything. I'm agnostic about matters having to do with spirituality.

If God exists, then Christianity may or may not be an accurate interpretation of the divine.

Do you really think you know enough to make such distinctions and separations?

Qualifiers almost outnumber the words of that bold statement.

Agnosticism permeates more than you know, apparently.

Do you think it is incorrect that if there is a God, then Christianity may or may not be an accurate interpretation of the divine? You can always disagree with me. I would like to hear what is wrong with my statement above if you disagree. It's basically If G, then C or not the case C.

It would help if you cite which post of mine you are responding to. I'm not sure why you are going against the normal conventions of replying to posts.
