-I did read the bible. I just wish for you to provide a general framework for why you believe what you do.
-I'm sorry for asking for clarification, I did not realize it would offend you so. I wasn't denying the assumption someone made about you and your flexibility was fact. I was stating it so I could make sure I was understanding where you were coming from.
-Have you read the Bhagavad Gita? How can anyone believe that anything is true but that after reading it?
-People are clinging to you because you are asserting what you know to be fact and people are wishing for you to break it down for them. It would be preferable that you do it in your own words rather than talking down to everyone and making us feel bad.
-My point about me being 'more spiritual than young cricket' is you at least implied (and please correct me if I am wrong) that I lacked the proper knowledge to make the assertion that it is just as illogical to say there is no god as to say there is absolutely one. I wish you would not be so condescending.
-You keep asserting I have not read the bible. I have. Out of curiosity, have you read both the Old and New Testament, and do you study one or both?
-My point about Zeus was just because someone feels something, it is not necessarily true.
-Providing a framework for your beliefs should not be quite as complex as calculus. I do not wish for every detail.
-Ah, do you mean the Holy Spirit is in your intuition? You said you felt its presence. Because you wish for me to infer on the information you have given, I gathered you took this as a physical feeling. Is it intuitive?
You would do well to not talk down to people here. I am not saying your beliefs are not credible, but you take away from your credibility when you talk down to people.
Also, when you say faith is a personal choice, that makes it seem like you simply choose the faith. There is nothing wrong with that. However, making the conscious choice to believe something does not make it fact, necessarily.
It looks very un-respectable to talk the way you have been. We would all very much appreciate that you stopped talking down to us.
