In the end I feel like Socrates: "I know, I know nothing." And I have to admit, after spending a lifetime of searching, to feeling I found only one truth and that is kindness. In fact, something I find very interesting is found in physics. In physics and math they talk about the beauty of equations and the symmetry found in the universe. Well, one can guess that all of the universe uses evolution (survival of the fitest) for the evolution of all sorts of life and maybe even physics. And in evolution everything kills everything else to survive. But in modern civilzation just the opposite is the primary value i.e. not killing. Also in the world of physics open systems are ravaged by entropy, but in the world of consciousness we can close those systems and stave off entropy. I feel the only real truth I ever found in all my searching was the concept of kindness. I think it is a common value recognized by sentient beings throughout the universe.

"others are cultural Christians, like ponokee, who don't believe in God " Actually what I don't believe in is Brumar. He believes to be the good man he has to walk around announcing he is a Christian without defining what that means. Gregoree plays the same card over and over again to. They don't represent Christ anymore than they represent the man in the moon. They both bend over to congratulate each other and call themselves elect and chosen. They believe when the rapture happens they will be caught up in a wave that takes them directly to heaven where they will celebrate Solon burning in hell. They even have second sight... witness gregoree foretelling that Ayn Rand was already in torment awaiting the final judgement. When gregoree is called to task for making such ridiculous statements he accuses the questioner of being a stalker. God's chosen ones are not to be questioned. "...when you stand before God to give an account for your life, I suspect that cutting and pasting quotes from a Ayn Rand, who is already in torment awaiting the final judgement, is not going to get you too far."
