There is indeed such a thing as "the church".

No there is not. There is no such thing as "the creator" either.
You better put your copy of the book down and walk quietly away. You have no respect for the celestial author who inspired primative people to record His impressions on their hearts and minds.

Every church has its own creator - and every church has it's own standards to define who is "chosen".
Granted this is so. Humans are legends in their own minds. But truth is not relative, my friend. The Creator exists whether or not your "enlightened" intelligence accepts Him or not.

You DENY the evidence that your idea is not the only idea.
OK, guilty as charged. Now what?
ringo writes:
Again, there is no such thing as one set of "believers". There are many sets of believers, each with its own set of beliefs, which are often mutually exclusive.
Only one group is on the right track. Again, they are called out. They were chosen initially and they chose to respond. You, on the other hand, chose to follow your own intelligence. Wrong turn.

Everybody has the same evidence.
Yet only some accept it. Others look for excuses to trash it, reject it, and explain away their free will as if they were right.
