If what you're saying is the truth, then no, nobody here is searching for that. "I'm Fallen and I can't get up!"

Sure it does. The evidence shows that it doesn't make any difference whether there is a God or not - and that people who claim to be "in communion" with God are no more enlightened than anybody else.
That's just another copout. You who do want it are deriving no noticeable effect from it. "I'm Fallen and I can't get up!"

Evolution doesn't "give permission" for anything; it has nothing to do with right or wrong. Evolution is pure mechanical. It just does what works, like "rightie-tightie, leftie-loosie". Religion, on the other hand, gives you permission to do whatever (you think) your God tells you to do. "I'm Fallen and I can't get up!"

Hitler believed that Jews were descended from apes but Aryans were created by God. He believed he was doing God's will by purifying the human race. "I'm Fallen and I can't get up!"

So when you say you are a Christian, you might actually be a satanist. "I'm Fallen and I can't get up!"

Then discuss them rationally. This is a discussion site, not your personal soapbox. If you can't back up what you say, keep it to yourself.
"Dogmatic reasoning" is an oxymoron. Dogma is by definition, without reason. And I do understand your "thinking" (which is also an exaggeration). Remember, I used to be where you are.
It is unbelievable that anybody could use their head and come up with such hooey.
The evidence is you. The evidence shows that your "communion" has saddled you with an immense truckload of really, really stupid ideas.
You have been asked many times to back up that "conclusion" and you've never been able to do it. "I'm Fallen and I can't get up!"

Yes. Science is humble. Do you think you have all the answers? "I'm Fallen and I can't get up!"

Copout. "I'm Fallen and I can't get up!"

As I just said in another thread a minute ago, there are no magical "answers" floating around out there waiting to be discovered. Answers are the result of questions and questions are the result of human thinking. (It doesn't have to be critical thinking. Critical thinking is just more likely to come up with better questions.)
You should stop trying to tie my worldview (or anybody else's) up in a neat little package. "I'm Fallen and I can't get up!"

I'm the one who upholds what Jesus said and you're the one who denies it. Remember?
Reality does limit Him to a character in a book. He has no other solid link to reality.
You're the one who cherry-picks from the Book when it suits you and scoffs at it when it doesn't.
I charge you with ignoring what's in the Book when you ignore what's in the Book. How can what suits me effect what you ignore?
Stop lying. I called bullshit on your claim that Christians are attacked more than any other religion. That is neither obvious nor even founded in fact.
For fuck's sake, I HAVE considered it, as I have told you many times. I used to be where you are. By all appearances, I have considered it more carefully than you have.
Whatever you were doing last night has nothing to do with the fact that you deny what Jesus said. "I'm Fallen and I can't get up!"

Have you ever heard of Jews? "I'm Fallen and I can't get up!"

Or some (biological) alien may have tweaked a pre-existing (evolved) creature's DNA to make it sapient (in a process having nothing whatever to do with "souls"). "I've been to Moose Jaw, now I can die." -- John Wing
