Pie, brilliant.

I think there's a God. I don't think [pronoun of your choice (poyc)] is a Christian. I'm not sure if [poyc] has free will (whatever exactly that may be). Have a wonderful day. Amen.

This line always puzzled me. I can never quite figure out how it works.

Zebra crossing == pedestrian crossing

I entered the poll as "I am god", but only for comedic value and lack of other viable options... not that it's that funny. I'd honestly answer that I have no clue if there is one and that I wish there were a god that I knew and loved. I can't intelliegently beleive in any of the gods in existense currently... how sad am I? Sometimes I sincerely wish I could believe because often I could use one. No offense to those of you who believe... sometimes I envy your (blind?) devotion and faith.

Yeah, clearly no offense embedded there.

Look at the cover of the Beatles Album, Abbey Road.

That's a Zebra Crossing.

Thanks, Pie, wolf, that makes a bit more sense than the zoological definition.

wolf 05-12-2005 10:04 AM

Oh, wow. Now I understand your problem. Yes, I can see how that would be confusing.

Although your interpretation is also funny.

There is a God/Dess. I KNOW it. S/He comforts and protects me. I know it. I have felt God.

it HAS to be. that's why so many people never will feel God, and if I recall correctly from one of these threads, the main reason why they refuse to acknowledge his existence.

I couldn't vote. No agnostic choice.

The existence of God can not be proven either way. God is irrelevant. Only inter-human interactions matter at all.

We should all just follow the Golden Rule. What else matters?

As long as you avoid masochists. http://www.cellar.org/images/newsmilies/nervous.gif

The ones with blind faith are the ones to ignore. They have no reason, no justification for their belief. These are usually fundies.

The bible tells us to have reasons for our faith, and be ready to give answers to questions about your faith.

RELIGION loves blind faith. God doesn't.
