Transponder and L8Gr8Apost8,
Thanks for your replies, but at this point, we're going in circles.
We'll agree to disagree.

The bottom line for me is that it makes more sense to believe in a type of God - not the "tyrannical grandpa in the sky" type, but rather a higher power.

Why?

Because with that belief, we can do more than without it.

It seems you've reached a stalemate, and the right thing to do would be to respectfully agree to disagree.

Assuming we have a Higher Power somewhere out there...I'd assume he outclasses any grandpa on Planet Earth in the "looks department".

I think experiences start everything off. experiences lead to

misunderstanding/understanding ...
fear/acceptance...
attacking/compassion ...
hate/love

if we know the person's history we can help them. If, they can be or want to be that is.

self Honesty is when the healing starts.
