really, this sounds like something you conjured up -- its your definition of God, but some who also believe in God don't see it that way[/quote]

That's o.k.  They don't have to see things exactly my way  ;)   Free will.[/quote]

free will to make up your own God -- I don't think that's what "God"  (the Christian God, that is) had in mind when he gave us free will[/quote]

Clearly you have a different view than I do.  That's o.k.[/quote]

Clearly it's ok to make up a god that you feel comfortable with -- like a point of view, a predilection, an imaginary friend. Perhaps this will be a typical god of the future -- unfettered from any religious dogma, floating just a little above common sense and personality, for those who want a little something extra that they don't find within[/quote]

No God is there for all of us, that is my belief.  Do you believe in God? Trying to understand where you are coming from and why you are being so....difficult.

You mean why I can't understand your point of view?  Many people who say they believe in God don't see him (it?) the way you do.  they'd see you as hell-bound or wishy washy.  I see you (and others) as making up your own religion, with your own beliefs, some adapted from Christianity, that are very loving and welcoming --- and it's  interesting to me.

No, I don't believe -- used to, but learning about religious history took its toll, plus I always accepted science. I realize that many religious people accept science, but still hold on to the idea of life after death.  [/quote]

Not the PP who was responding to you. But you need to get out of your house more often. You seem to have a constricted way of looking at things.[/quote]

Just the opposite is true -- it's "getting out of the house" that has opened thinking for so many people, no longer bound by the limited environment of their family or their church.  PP has devised her own view of god and many others have let go of what they were taught to believe and have adopted a completely naturalistic view of the world.[/quote]
