  I hope that discerning readers will notice that Adam and I have nothing in else common.

  I have noticed. I stopped reading Adam's posts after the first few.

  My apologies to Glad. I was confusing this with a different thread authored by another poster. It's easy to get the athiest vs thiest threads confused once they get pages away from the OP.

  I understand having questions about god. Glad. Its just not been your style to address posters in a disrespectful way.

  Glad, I didn't think of you as one to poke fun at this kind of thread topic or its author. Did someone knock you out and commandeer your computer? You're generally more effective with your posts because you usually treat posters in a respectful way.

  BEWARE!

  by Terry in

  only rational thoughts are accessible to rational arguments.

  once the category of "god" is established in your mind (usually at an early, impressionable age) you can't ever close the file.. it is unassailable.. why?because it becomes rooted before you develop rational thinking skills.. categories of ghosts, devils, superstitions hold true as well.. what you can do (since they cannot be removed) is modify your emotional reactions connected to these concepts.. what are emotions?

  they are signals (like beacons) informing you of the importance of your values.. the most deeply-rooted values signal the strongest emotional responses.. what you perceive to be a threat signals fear.

  You can peak at the profiles without paying. I think there are like 90 men for every 3 women.
