@fmf saidIt is your world when you set up all the rules, create and define all the definitions for everything; you apply your filters to everything said and done. Nothing about this can be anything else, it is you being sovereign overall there is around you, everything is as you say it is. Even when people say things you disagree with, you turn whatever is said into something not worth hearing or listening to.
It is not "my world", KellyJay, it's THE world in which we both live. People get divorced after being married for a long time. It happens. You can't pretend it doesn't.
Someone else has to be sovereign overall for it not to be your own making, and you deny that.
@kellyjay saidI don't want to know about your personal life.
I gave you my questions and concerns about your analogy. I told you I went through one too, so I was not applying an analogy to yours; I shared my life when I said that. If you wonder why I said what I did, I suggest reading what I wrote.
@kellyjay saidAll this sheer nonsense just to squirm away from an adult allegory about loss of faith that makes the allegory you offered sound like it was written by a child!

@kellyjay saidHere is your allegory for my statements about my faith in the past having lost that faith:
I don't have the answers; it is your world; I cannot tell you what you think; I don't have your mental abilities; it is your analogy, not mine.
If you and I were friends who lived next to one another 20 years ago, and today I deny I ever knew you 20 years ago, as a true statement! Would I be telling the truth?
