And, has been mentioned many times before from various posters, it's amazing that ones 'personal god' always seems to agree with that persons beliefs, biases and prejudices.
Just amazing!

if a man is Trans they may call him Jason or brother or husband or uncle or grandson or nephew or colleague or neighbor or customer or poker player or mister or chap or bloke or sir. But there is still just one of you no matter what different names people may call you.

reading from a tract is not a conversation. it is talking at people.
the guy rambling on the street corner is not in a discussion. he is talking at people.

how do you explain the extreme difference in descriptions of Los Angeles from one person to another? How do you explain the extreme difference in descriptions of the Grand Canyon from one person to another? How do you explain the extreme differences in descriptions of you as teacher or son or friend or board member or tourist or ex-husband or Buddhist or snowbird?

We have, on this forum, various non believing individuals doing their level best to engage in a rational discussion with believers. And then we have Christians.

Come on now.

Christianity says that god made man in his image.
Hinduism portrays Ganesh as a weird looking elephant.
