I would chide you on that basis for having a love/hate relationship with God, but who does not?

True, but by the same token, in denying our nature we deny the divine.

It is all Dans fault, really.
But you do comparable things all the time!

Nope, Buddhists are explicitly atheist and also explicitly Ontologically engaged

I think he's saying that most arguments used on behalf of Atheism actually come from the Bible.

Basically what Dan said; atheism as iconoclasm sans icons (unless we count religion as symbolism.)

What exactly do you mean by "The irreparable damage it inflicted in the Great Schism"?

That Byzantiums iconoclasm was one of the many wedges between it and Rome that led to the Schism.

I did not say it was decisive, but that it did irreparable damage to the relationship.

Irreparable damage is damage that cannot be repaired, not necessarily serious or fatal.

No. Even English seems to be beyond your grasp.

Would you include the iconoclasm that Joel cites in the canonical Judeo-Christian tradition as well?
