Hang with me while I do some mulling. Hadn't thought on this subject for a while. I "wrestled" with it for years, and before leaving the faith I searched for a "healty" alternative, attending more liberal denominations, and even a Unitarian Universalist church for a while, and took a brief look at Buddahism. But the combination of a logical brain and "red neck" individualism didn't fit in anywhere. My logical brain couldn't accept the superstition and delusion of traditional christianity. As a clinical social worker I worked in and with several faith based organizations, inc

Ha! I haven't dated in over 53 years, so will let someone else answer this one. Good luck!

That seems to happen a lot when open minded people read the bible. WELCOME!

I am also one of the select. But what I see is different than what you see. So, how do we prove which one is correct?

Just the dialog?

A few years ago I heard it explained like this. There are degrees of delusion --- a fuzzy line between superstition and delusion. Belief in religion for most people is superstition. They believe it because that is what most people around them believe, and their overall thought processes are "normal". It becomes delusion when the view is substantially different than what the majority believe, and is rigidly held with no room for discussion.

Hey, we gotta keep corporate America happy and wealthy!

Depends on which sect of heathenism you are talking about.

Are you sure the devil didn't make you do it?

Delusional.

Hmmmm. I guess there is worse than Donald Trump.

Hard core Mennonite thinking. And I think the best response to your "demands" is no response. I am not a moderator, but I am out of here. Hope you had a good day.

I am ex-church of Christ (and Mennonite for a couple of years), and especially after reading your post about the soldier and Mennonite, am confused about your sincerity. The absolute "demands" to the moderators is not in tune with Mennonite (or christian) thinking. So I am thinking you must be delusional.

I decided in my experience that people are people. But Christians seem to be more secretive about their "dark side".

This may not be interesting unless you are a back country explorer like me, but the mystery has been solved. On closer inspection they found evidence of saw marks in the rock. Someone went to great pains to insert a 12 ft tall stainless steel triangular "pole" in the rock. Large enough for a person to sit on top of it. And from satellite images they can tell it was put there in late 2015 or early 2016. Dang! I was hoping it would be alien. Strange coincidence. In 2014 I was 1/4 mile from the site when crossing the desert in my Jeep on the east side of Canyon Lands National park. Gett
