Gary starts off with the childish theist plea for pity. "Please don't question what I believe!" Reading through your letters, one could get the impression all theists are like this. I think it is a skewed sample. Perhaps only the theists who are threatened by rational discourse feel compelled to write to you.
In the hopes that he may gain some expanded understanding on what makes people do the things they do, himself and Bar-Jonah included, I suggest reading any of Oliver Sachs books. The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat is one of my favorites.
A conclusion is a place where you got tired of thinking.
