Don't worry about it Sail_Dancer.
That'd be easy enough to confuse.

You are welcome SOC 
Try not to be dependent on relusion.
A good start would be to question what you know

16knots, I don't think you truly understand that I was being sarcastic.
Your knowledge about God is minimal at best.
Of course He sometimes performs miracles by little increments each day!
 What about the birth of a child?? Or any living thing for that matter!! Do you not consider all life a miracle??

You reading minds now, too... You and SG should get together

Relusion occurs by little increments each day!

I'd like to discuss it with you but alas, my "knowledge of God is minimal."
But, alas...... "hark, I hear a voice in my head and it says.... speak to SOC he needs you help! I am God and I have been trying to speak to SOC for twenty years now...."
I asked..... "Wot - voice in my head, what do you want me to tell him....?"
"Tell the bleeder I aint real and he needs to get his arse down to the medical centre immediately! "
Guess your God was mad at you SOC....
If you had spent as much energy in positive healing therapy instead of believing in some Evil Bastard God was doing something for you, you would have been far better of along time ago!
Relusion can be deadly!

This is from the link I posted.
Another effect of understanding causes and conditions means accepting the possibility of change. And with acceptance comes another understanding—that with wisdom, we have the capacity to create beneficial and wholesome conditions for beneficial and wholesome results. And that’s the path—an understanding that we have the capacity to make choices in our lives that lead toward happiness, that lead toward freedom and well being, rather than feeling we’re just pushed by the power of confusion or by the power of our own misunderstanding. This understanding helps to ease a sense of separateness and isolation, and it reduces delusion.

I thought it might be beneficial.
Everything changes; nothing stays the same. Resisting change causes stagnation.

So does believing something is fact that's speculation at best...

Which can also be considered resisting change.
It's the resistance that there might be something different, but beneficial out there.

^^^^^^^^^^^^
Or too damn brainlocked to even consider something just might not be as you have been led to believe it is...
Blind faith is about as illogical as it can get...especially about something that controls your life...
But blind faith is certainly one's privilage....now if they could just see that there are those who don't see it their way and get rid of this urge to try do change them...

I am the one who controls my life. And I am the one who take responsibility for it!
