Hi Ciak,
How is Dennis pointing a finger at me/us?>>>
Dennis I have to respond to your post with idea that even though you directed it at lefty and Mike because I am part of the equation you point the finger at me as well. I will not let you or anyone get away with defining who I am . The image you insist on>>>
Hiya Lefty,
I like to make my path a winding one. Lots to see and do. Bright lights and dark crannies to peer into. But at the end of my path I will be at the same place as every other life form on this earth. Dead.
Mike,
The question, simplified is, w>>>
I didn't think I was directing that at your post or anyone for that matter . The intention was to set some ground rules for a deeper continues dialogue . In discussions like this , one of the worst things that can happen is when someone is of another per>>>

CIAK,
you're trying to analyze my sentence too deeply. Call it whatever you will, but I've heard a lot of people say they want nothing to do with God, sometimes for things they feel were unfair in their life, sometimes for reasons that had to do with>>>

My morals are based on the com>>>
I googled the phrase: hostility towards God and came across this....kind of ironic and eiry at the same time.... 2 Timothy 4:14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm. The Lord will repay him according to his deeds. 15 Be on guard against him yoursel>>>

What does hostility towards God look like ? I am serious I can't think of an instant towards God. Now towards other humans and or animals etc I've definitely seen that.
I can tell ya Chuck , it's ugley>>>
It's hard to get deep in these conversations. People usually are OK with throwing out their opinions, but get defensive when it starts to get above the knees. So far that hasn't happened here, but I'd sure like to see it get deeper if the civility ca>>>

Nothing in particular about this thread. Just an observation that I've had over the years and it's a tough subject to broach, cuz for many that do feel that way, they go into ">>>
