You guys realize how many times you all have invoked the God-as-parent-man-as-child metaphor? It's classic. We need God/Daddy to protect us from the Unknown. It means Christians may not operate out of a search for Truth, but out of a need for Safety.
Just thinking out loud...
Your children regard you as thier parrent and rely on you for thier safety. Does that in any way shape or form negate the truth of your existance? I believe that God is my Heavenly father, not because I want Him to be, but because he is. Scientists research cures for disease and vaccinations against viruses out of a need for safety does this mean they don't opperate out of a search for the truth. You seem to imply the possibility that the two are mutually exclusive I would say that "Christians operate out of a search for Truth AND out of a need for Safety.
Putting the "fun" back in Fundamentalist Christian Dogma.
