Thank you RC. Please, everyone. I think it's urgent that you all realize that when I post questions like this one or the one about "Is the Jewish/Christian/Muslim concept of God primitive?" It is not to cause a war of the egos. It is simply a philosophical question to allow for mutual enlightenment as we freely discuss the topic at hand and nothing else.
Thank you. Now please, continue. But this time from your higher self honoring the higher self in each one of us. |
Thank you Aero for clearing that up....
It means alot coming from the author of the thread!
In reading and responding in these great threads we must remember to not jump to conclusions about the intent with which a member responds.
We must never assume that we know exactly why someone says what they say...rather we should assume that they meant well and assume that no mal-intent was even offered.
As Aero has so eloquently said, "opinions are like a**holes......". We all have one and it's no more, or less important than anybody elses...
So, lets have some fun in our discussions and go forth to save the day!
"Forgiveness is Divine..."

Thanks Rev. Sean...
It's a lovely story and worthy to be shared!
People helping people is the same lovely story no matter which religion you believe in.

None of this matters cause the matrix has us all and Ted Theodore Logan is our only hope.
