You might get poetry better than I do, maybe, as you insist of course (again and again), but when it comes to most of the rest, it always seems you are missing the bigger picture. Always missing something anyway. Especially when it comes to me.
It is a bit sad that at your stage in life that you feel you need to feel victimized because what, that there is disagreement? I dont miss anything about you, how you think is crystal clear to many of us here as is evident from their posts. Your thinking is very simple minded and limited by your own choice. It is you who is missing so much. Maybe instead of the big picture, examine how it was drawn, what the artist meant.
But you do have a fan club, so there is that, a mutual admiration fan club.

Oh but the ground is mush, nothing can be driven into it. It cannot hold a single idea.

The point is CB, can you see how we all are similar in some ways? How we express and defend our beliefs the same ways sometimes?

How can we get a full measure of ourselves?

Feel the need to feel victimized?

Thanks for this little chuckle as it is time for me to sign off from here and move on to preparing our customary BSB now. I feel the need to do that now as much as I enjoy all these never-ending impressive insights from you about me. Simple minded. Right, but I'm not so simple minded that I don't recognize how aware and in tune you are with Oneness and all those heavy vibes that you and yours are able to tune into while I'm left simple minded. I get it already! Crystal clear!

I know what I'm missing...

Now it's art appreciation too? How clueless can you possibly be?

This too about the fan club is your thing. Not mine. Some folks are here to be in some sort of popularity contest. That's never been my thing. I don't rep anyone, and I don't care if anyone reps me. You think I'm here to make my threads grow too. Also not true. I'm here to engage in adult intelligent discussion about topics that interest me. People like you just make this difficult. Something like walking along the water talking with someone about something interesting when all of a sudden some loud motorcycle goes by that makes it impossible to continue the conversation for a bit.

Fortunately, they keep going down the road until they are no longer an annoyance...

Now you're talking.

A pleasure to read, consider, as I bid all of you aware ones a very fine Sunday...

If we are going to honestly consider the question of just who is being simple minded... which of these things do you NOT personally accept as true?

Joshua stopped the Earth from rotating.
Joshua 10:12-13 (The Day the Earth Stood Still)

Jonah rode around in the belly of a great fish for several days without being digested.
Book of Jonah (shades of Pinocchio)

Hordes of dead people came up out of their graves and wandered the streets of Jerusalem.
Matthew 27:52-53 (Night of the Living Dead)

A corpse returned to life and subsequently physically flew off into the sky.
All four Gospels; Acts 1:9

Santa has a team of flying reindeer.
A Visit from St. Nicholas, By Clement Moore

Arach, I am convinced that this forum for Religion and Spirituality cannot function to its full potential, exchanging ideas and thoughts on these topics, as long as Atheists post here. We are at complete cross purposes, dialogues are derailed, and instead of thoughts personalities are discussed, lists are made as to who are liked and who are not. How much more childish can it get?
An analogy would be where White Nationalists post in a forum called Being Black in America. A bit extreme but not by much.
