I'll start by saying that I thoroughly enjoy your site and find quite a bit of helpful information and enjoyable reading.
I thought this blog was way out of the ordinary. I am a Christian and am not offended by other people's opinions but the way that you presented your "facts" was almost like you are angry. Not sure why. You're an intelligent guy so I assume you've based your opinions on your research, experiences, and other sources of info that you have come across, but the demeaning attitude of your blog really (for me) is over the top. That's not the way to reach people. In my opinion, to have such a closed minded approach to something as powerful as religion isn't going to bring you to "continued conscious development".
To end, I found it quite ironic that your wife is a psychic who can "get a message from your higher self or spirit guides" or "connect with a deceased relative or friend", yet you have such a horrible attitude toward religion. To believe those things but think that anyone who believes there is a God is a "moron" is quite amusing to me.

This is my first post, this blog persuaded me to take a couple minutes to post something. Wish I could debate more of what I thought.
