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.

Hey, sm, offense is in the eye of the beholder. Asylum apologized, twice. If you're determined to be offended, go right ahead. I read her posts, and I don't detect the offense you're unhappy about.
For me, faith is blind, in a way. It is belief in things not seen.
She said she envies your devotion, your faith. To her it's blind because she can't see what you see. To you it's rational evaluation. Why would you take offense at someone's desire to know what you know, to have what you have? Don't be offended, be enlightening. Asylum lacks hope, belief, trust, all things you have. Share. |
