Re: Say What?
Sometimes you guys are as subtle as a Mack Truck!

The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him.” - Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You (1894).

Re: Say What?
It's just that I feel a degree of intellectual arrogance here that is, in my opinion unearned. Why must I be the outlier?? I'm every bit as intelligent as any of you. Emotionally I'm a bit immature which is why, I suppose, this stuff even bothers me.

Re: Say What?
I am curious about God. You seem either blessed (or cursed as it were) with no such curiosity. You are more preoccupied with humans and secular humanism. Thus we differ.

Re: Say What?
OK, fair enough. Lets start with what you used to believe and why you changed your mind.
One cannot challenge what they cannot define.
