I've read quite a bit of your pieces and asked myself if it has any meaning to reply to you as it's obvious that as things stand right now, we won't agree on much. But then I said, why not.

So first, you believe in God of Bible while the God I know is merely mentioned therein. Also, in your statement of faith you mention Bible as originally written. Which Bible is that? I ask because there are so many manuscripts and versions and none of them are originals -- they are all copies of copies of copies. Do you have access to some secret manuscripts that are undeniably the originals? Anyway, as far as I'm concerned the only text set in stone by God are the Ten Words.

Now to address specifically this article -- in addition to head and heart knowledge, there is just plain knowledge of our conscious existence ("I Am"). There is where true salvation "resides". You may take it, you may leave it. Your mileage obviously varies in this regard, but now you cannot complain that you were not told (and I certainly don't want to turn this into an argument or mutual attempts at persuasion).

As for those two questions you aim at atheists -- even though I would not label myself as an atheist, the second one I can unambiguously answer as yes. And to answer the first one -- a short answer would be yes. A longer one would be that for God turning himself into the "dot" is the most natural thing to do. No need for anything supernatural. But as I said, I try neither to convince nor to convert you. I merely inform you.
