    I was enjoying the read more than posting, a lot of the threads in this forum either go over my head or involve the dissection in minutiae of a book I haven’t read but I appreciate this post.
    As I told you before you are permitted to alert any post. I just answer the question in the thread it is presented in or if my name is mentioned I will defend myself. As you can see posts alerted are still up so far. Doesn't mean they will remain so. I am just telling you don't single out any one individual for what others are doing also, now including yourself. 😉

    EDIT: I believe much is left to the Moderators choice, the TOS doesn't seem to be set in stone so to speak.

    Arguing about spirituality/religion is fundamentally exactly like arguing about politics in that there are always at least two perspectives, moral or righteous indignation and a desire to be proven right!

    This thread topic can quite easily come back on topic and whilst it can be irritating for threads to go off topic I do think it is something we have all pretty much learned to live with. I accept that this divergence was lengthy but the popcorn value was probably quite high.

    Usually I will try to avoid dragging threads off topic, but in this instance and in the words of Captain Kirk from the movie Star Trek The Search for Spock, "the needs of the one outweighed the needs of the many."

    Tongue back out of cheek 😉

    I think I just did VR I mentioned three of you by name and I don’t dislike any of you.
    Now you have which is what you should have done instead of singling me out. Shows bias when you do that.

    Now, you can get back to your Spirituality talk. 😉

    Bias would require an intent in this case VR which there clearly wasn’t. But I know you like the last word so I’ll await your reply and draw a line under it 😉

    When You point the finger at one person then include others after something has been said to you bias was certainly shown.

    Draw all the lines you wish. I might do the same, we can play like kids in the school yard! 😉 😛

    Or you can get back to talking about the Subject matter of this thread.

    You are either a believer or a non-believer. You Sir, are an atheist which you have admitted to so you are a non-believer.

    I removed it because you had no intention of addressing the post, despite urging people to return to spiritual discussion.

    The question I posed was directed to another poster.


    Edit: I'll post it again when you've evaporated.

    Well he’s clearly a believer in some sort of model because he believes that god or gods do not exist.
    Do you believe that god or gods exist?

    I’ve alerted you for being off topic VR.
    All you had to do was put your unquenchable ego away and enter into the actual debate.
    Brownie points from whom VR?

    Apparently everyone is trying to earn Brownie points from myself. (In truth I only give out badges).

    Although I don't believe in the existence of a deity, I'm keen to stress that this doesn't mean I have gone out to find something to fill the void. I don't think there is a void to fill. I haven't sought an alternative.
