Fundamentalist xtian apologists are on a mission to prove that xtianity is the indisputable absolute truth. They do this by providing historical evidence and "logical assertions" that are all designed to proved that, "God broke into human history in the person of Jesus Christ." But no matter how articulate or high-sounding their arguments, they always hit the leap of faith. The leap is inescapable.

What I am seeking to do in my book, Splitting Infinity, is to argue that the inevitability of the leap is inherent within the structure into our Universe.
The leap, when discussed in my terms, is not an admission of an epistimelogical failure, but rather proof of my argument. Of course a leap is inevitable in our Universe where epistemology, like quantum phenomena, changes the the nature of the knowledge being "observed." Knowledge is propositional and scientifice, and propositions and science are not, and can never be, absolute over time.

Yet the bigots of xtianity insist that unless one is saved they cannot "know" the truth as do the elect. I'm sorry, but this assertion is such an elitist "Fuck You." The xtians who assert this are, at their core, saying, "You cannot know what I know because what I know is a person.
You can only have perfect knowledge by knowing Christ."

Okay, well then why are there so many Christian denominations and sects? If there is one Jesus to know, then there should be one Christianity. After all, if Jesus is standard and unchangeable for all of eternity, then something is wrong if over a billion Christians have broken into numerous groups because they cannot agree upon who the
Jesus is they claim to know.
