Imagine the mental gymnastics needed to rationalize your own mediocrity and lack of love for knowledge as something that makes you superior

You'd be hard pressed to find a single person who affirms the God of the Old Testament is God the Father more than Jesus Christ.
"In everything, then, do to others as you would have them do to you. For this is the essence of the Torah and the Prophets."
"Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill."
"If you had believed Moses, you would believe Me, because he wrote about Me."

What did the Torah and the Prophets say about who God was? Did Christ affirm the Torah and the Prophets? What did Moses say about God? Where did Moses write about Jesus?

I appreciate your civil tone, and acknowledge the validity of the essence of your message.
I will say that although not many people are swayed by logical arguments and rational discussion, some are. Thus, I am willing to "waste" time on providing arguments against these doctrines because even if 1000 people disregard the conversation, perhaps one person might find use in it, and come to true and right faith in Jesus Christ. and His church. If even one person is brought to light out of spiritual darkness, and my posts seeded the Word in one persons mind from whence it grew, my entire existence is worth it.
God bless you, though, I appreciate the calm and level-headed perspective. I myself was persuaded by the logical arguments from an agnostic/new-age/gnostic perspective, so it is only right that I pay it forward, so to speak. My own testimony proves that people do exist who follow good arguments and truth, and so this effort is never wasted.
