Again, by your undergraduate logic you should be Catholic.
Even without delving into interpreting all prophesy as future
Of course, we wouldn't want to begin a dialogue with the foundational issues; that would be silly. Lets just dismiss all the theology and move squarely to all the side issues.
Rather than continue this silly exchange ... I suggest you pick up the conversation that topcat and I started on this thread ... I suspect it could continue for several months. It is civil, contrite, and enjoyable. And we will get to the things you care about ... like literal sacrifices in the Millenium.

I am still waiting for you to say something that is more contemplative than a bumper-sticker. Face it, you can't defend the undefendable, you don't understand the doctrines, and my original assertion that Dispies are the least educated, and most ignorant of biblical doctrines is bolstered by your lack of substance.

Apparently you can't even handle "undergraduate logic" since you would prefer to hurl the elephant of assuming to be true what remains to be proven - that is, the futurist template applied to Biblical prophecy.

Yes, the fundamental doctrines of the faith are "side issues" because we all know that identifying the anti-christ and who first pulls the trigger at Armageddon is far, far more important from the eternal perspective.
Rather than continue this silly exchange
It hasn't been an exchange, you have defended nothing, unable or unwilling to even work with foundational issues, and you even have the audacity of claiming that the doctrines of redemption and the atonement are "side issues". All you have been able to do is insult, denigrate and ignore.

Unlike the bullying, rude and childish behavior you have exhibited here. Given what you have contributed so far, I don't think you have any interest or capability to participate in an honest discussion - especially about spiritual things.
But I do appreciate you demonstrating the accuracy of my statements.
