Here’s one adult with a child’s heart who’s hoping you (and anyone else reading this) really will reconsider . . .

I find it interesting that you consider your childlike faith YOUR greatest ACCOMPLISHMENT.
It's one of the things I find distrurbing about most Christians. The bible clearly says that Faith in God is a GIFT from God, so that no one can boast. Yet you boast of your great accomplishment.
Most Christians will tell you that the majority of sentient beings will spend eternity in Hell, because somehow they lacked the good sense to have your accomplishment ( faith in god ). What they don't realize is that their own bible states that faith in that god is given by that god and is not an accomplishment at all.
Which, if you think about it, means that the choice is strictly in the hands of said god who has faith and lives, and who doesn't have faith and spends eternity in hell.
Not my kind of god for sure, but I digress. I just find your greatest accomplishment something interesting.
