I wasn't arguing for either. You were saying that evolution was absolute fact, and people that don't accept it are idiots.

while you are grew to say that, I am free to defend what I wish.

I only appeared indecisive to you because you were unaware of my position. You never asked, you just continued arguing moot points about all the evidence that supports evolution.

That never really addressed the position of weather it is right to fail kids that don't accept it

If you would like to talk about this more lets return to that forum.

P.S. Me claiming that I don't really know is far from saying I know everything. I don't know what put out in your head that I believe I know everything, I will admit, I know very little, I have only been in this planat for 29 years. How much could I know?

In what way is being the 1st and last letters of the alphabet 'love'?

To be less obtuse, Yahweh is a war god. The idea that he's 'love' is a Roman heresy to make their religion more appealing and thus win more converts.

Being logic is essential

Do you mean being the alpha and omega drives to the conclusion of something being love? What's the logical link? I have the idea that in the new testament the protagonist "Jesus " is told having said He was the alpha and the omega. But He didn't tell what he meant by that. (BTW it is uncertain wether there was just one " Jesus " leader at those times 12bc to 30 AC)
Without no disrespect for your personal beliefs, I suggest, that we put aside "belief" - and should talk about experience and that means something that is really obvious and real in one's life - those kinds of things we do not object for a second - like the sun appearing everyday.

Interesting take.

God is a spirit as vouched by the Holy Bible. A creator, He's the ultimate being. No matter how intellectual a person is, if God does not will it, that person would never truly understand who or what God is. This is purely a spiritual matter and no amount of reasoning would be able to comprehend Him truly.

So...anyone who follows on logical thought...cannot believe in your god?

I thought I'd said this before, but 'God' is a nostalgic noise, standing for a time when other people looked after us and told us what to do. Since our parents varied so much, it doesn't lead to sensible or agreed actions, I'm afraid.

God is hope people have, that they otherwise wouldn't have. It is kind of like a false peace of mind.

Or it's like the only reality.

Agreed completely.....thus everyone who says they "Know", is ignoring the larger reality.

Or is a microscopic part of the great All.
