Presenting fantasy as fact is lying.  And lying has no 'degrees'.  Few 
parents actually believe in Captain Kirk, but then again, neither do they 
lyingly tell their children that Captain Kirk visits their house and brings 
them stuff.

Believe that if you wish.  However, I've provided answers to these and more. 
In detail and abundance.  If you wish, I can reiterate for the sake of 
readers who may not have seen the threads.

"Unity in the midst diversity" is nowhere mentioned in Christ's
conversation 
with Nicodemus, or anywhere else in the Bible in connection with Jehovah, 
who ALONE is the Most High God.  (Ps. 83:18)

Being united, yet diverse as an 'earthly' thing is something unique to 
Jehovah's Witnesses - in over 236 lands, we are an international 
brotherhood, with no racial, national, political, tribal or social 
divisions.  Whether Tutsi or Hutu, Iraqi or American, Brahman or 
Untouchable, Christian love unites us under the rulership of the Prince of 
Peace.  All glory goes to Jehovah God through Jesus Christ, we didn't do 
this ourselves.  How could we?  We're just imperfect heaps of dust like 
everyone else.  We did not just all wake up one morning with all our hatreds 
& prejudices melted.  Only the love of the Christ could accomplish this, as 
it is above the squabbles of men.  (Isa. 2:2-4; Rev. 7:9)

Peace to you and yours in this violent world.
