I don't have any problem with the notion that God is an extra-terrestrial being.
Also don't have any problem with God as a crutch. God knows I could use one lol. Much better God as a crutch, than alcohol, drugs, hedonism, materialism, me-ism, and many>>>
I am very interested in the topic of where the moral code came from. With further investigation in our lives we can only admit to what we have formed or opinions around. Where do these markers come from ? What makes sense to me is in every human born ther>>>

Ciak, I meant to reply to this earlier but got distracted. I will try again now but what I was prepared to say is not fresh in my head now so excuse me if I ramble. The claim that our ideals are founded in christianity is plausible but cannot be subst>>>

There's a guy that took over Al Franken's spot on Air America named Thom Hartman. This guy used to be a local radio guy here. He is a pretentious know-it-all, many of his listeners probably assume because he spouts "historical facts" with such autho>>>

Hi Ciak,
I think about topics like this all the time.
It would take me a year or two to answer the questions you asked. I would not even try to answer them to anyone. Just an outline would take a day or two.>>>
