You're arrogant, self-absorbed, coupled with a deep insecurity, a powerful sense of entitlement and a carefully nurtured sense of resentment towards anyone that does not share your beliefs and a claim jumper. Message 25940547

"A question, BTW: the answer to which is obvious, even to people like Solon who are rabidly critical to Christianity and the Christian concept of a transcendent, personal, creator, God who upholds and is sovereign over the universe" I was addressing what I know to be the Christian idea of "personal God". I WAS NOT taking sides in your contretemps with DAK. Of course I am critical of Christianity. It is transparently silly. The idea of a "Creator" is not necessarily silly. But Jewish/Christian mythology destroys any and all Divine claims by the very "scriptures" which comprise it. Nonsense is nonsense. Absurdity is absurdity. Cruelty is cruelty. Tribal ignorance is tribal ignorance. A psychotic, ridiculous, inept, and bizarre "god" is a contradiction in terms. There are wonderful philosophies (such as Buddhism) which can provide a framework for human existence, interaction, and growth. Why do you cling to something so absurd and transparently stupid?
