Thread: Who or what is God to you?

Also, I would add that I will ask Ophelia to lock this thread if it becomes very obvious that you are just trolling and intending to disrupt this thread for your own amusement, which is what it looks like right now.

I would ask Ophelia to lock you for even insinuating another member is being abusive without having any basis for your claims. Why would I troll a subject that is close to my heart you fruitcake. I'm sorry if the conversation doesn't go as you planned but not everyone wants to hear what you want.

What do you want me to bring to the table? Because there is litrally a million different things to talk about, one of which I just did, and it's very obvious to me that God does exist. Someone has faith when they have been given it through grace. It disturbs you doesn't it.

Deanstar - I appreciate your different perspective and your fervor regarding your aversion for "hate", however you could eschew from condescension of others with antithetical opinions.

I'll post this "Faith is the surrender of the mind; it's the surrender of reason, it's the surrender of the only thing that makes us different from other mammals. It's our need to believe, and to surrender our skepticism and our reason, our yearning to discard that and put all our trust or faith in someone or something, that is the sinister thing to me. Of all the supposed virtues, faith must be the most overrated." -Christopher Hitchens

Well, actually yes. Thread starter has the right to set the parameters of a conversation. And kadie had done so. If anybody can't follow those simple requests, he/she is advised to find another thread that fits better to what he/she wants to talk about.

Oh, and no name calling.

Thank you all, carry on : D
