You still keep claiming that you are not bashing religious people, I guess you have failed to read your own posts. I just wanted to post something real quick. No where in the Bible will you find Mary deified. Jehovah, Yahweh, the Elohim are all the same God. Jehovah isn't even a Biblical name for God. It is actually a mixture of two names for God, I wont go into details here. Zombe, why does it bother you so much people believe differently than you? Our "ignorance is doing you no harm, also you are extremely ignorant to religion. And example of that is that you said Christianity evolved from Platonism, this is entirely untrue. Also if we are so sure of the big bang theory and there is so much evidence, then how could there still be theist scientists? You said you could get 50 scientist in the same room and get them to agree, that fact that you said this proves you have no idea what you are talking about. You wont even be able to take 20 and get them to agree. And last of all, since we are so ignorant we get to enjoy life in ignorant bliss as you say. Very well, we will enjoy our lives, and in the end we wont have to fear death. Sounds good to me. But I don't think we are so blissfully ignorant. You claim you do your own research and that you are well educated. I am not quite seeing this. The fact you gave the Jesus Seminar even a modicum of value shows you have no idea what it even was.
