You have a lack of data in your mind about God if you
honestly calculate a percentage that high against God.
The Holy Bible says that we should study to gain
knowledge to make ourself approved.

You are 100% right, then. God is not a big man in the sky with a
curly beard. God is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
The Son is the only one of the three persons of the Godhead that
is both man and God. God is one God in three persons, not 3 Gods.
God is not one person alone, either.

No, God is not a man. God is spirit and life.

God is in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
The Father is fully God and spirit only and so is the Holy Spirit.
However the Son is fully God in spirit and fully man in his humanity.

I think the point Daisy is trying to make is regarding the explicit gender bias in your ideology.

There is no gender bias in stating the truth.

That is a facile statement and untrue. If your ideology does reflect the truth, the gender bias is clearly stated.

"I would like to push aside all my beliefs and start a new. A fresh clean mind with a willingness to perceive what comes my way without preconceived ideas about it all."

That's just talk. You won't do it. Besides, you can't do it anyway. You've already admitted that most of what you believe is wrong.

How will you ever know the truth if you think it's all based on preconceived ideas?


"It's more comfortable to join the religion of your culture or your family."

One doesn't "join" the truth. The truth is joined to the one who hears it and believes.
