Somebody help me...

Not really. Candid, rather than bitter. I think your windy rhetoric has a reason behind it. I was just pointing out what I reckon it is, having read many thousands of your posts.

A reason? There was no serious intent I can assure you, never the less, I suspect a man who is marooned and intent on picking pebbles with which to erect a monolith to his new found freedom would be more concerned with building a vessel instead of angrily fist waving at the ones that were passing by, unless of course he's happily marooned.

Simply repeating the string of cliches doesn't really work any better than they did the first time. Which rather confirms my impression that they are for your own benefit rather than mine.

I didn't say I thought there was. I think you're just preening, unseriously.

I had not stated that they were for your benefit, why you should think they are for your benefit i cannot say, perhaps if you climb the pebble monolith to your freedom and look out they may tell you.

soooooo thats the reason, I am preening, LOL and why should i seek to attempt to impress you with by lustrous feathers and golden plumage?

Clearly not. The way I see it, you say such things about other people whose beliefs differ from yours for your own benefit.

Because, as I said, you seem to be "an insecure subscriber to an off-the-shelf pre-packaged religionist dogma who is trying to puff himself up in a chat room".

I think perhaps you are trying to make yourself feel important.

so i should try to impress you because I am insecure and a subscriber to some religious dogma that differs from your self erected pebble monolith? really? but that doesn't make any sense, I have no issues with my off the shelf prepackaged religious dogma and i find that its perfectly rational and practical if applied in real life making the rather plastic and transparent false value of insecurity which forms the basis of your charge of trying to impress you rather well. . . . .plastic and transparent, like a polythene bag washed up on an empty beach. Seriously I harbor no pretensions of wanting to impress anyone.

If i wanted to feel important i would not come to you, for you see, its been my experience after reading thousands of your posts that you are possessed of a type of cynicism which i can only describe as innate and if I wanted to feel important, which I don't, but if i did, you were probably the last person i would engage.

No, I am saying that you come across as an insecure subscriber to a pre-packaged religious dogma ~ and have done so for years ~ and never more so than when you talk about how "empty" and "vacuous" the lives of other people are.

As the last person that you would engage, you seem to engage me an awful lot.

I am not talking about your life FMF, i am referring to your explanation. You claim belief in a deity, we ask if it has a name, nothing, its character, nothing, you claim that you have found spiritual freedom, yet when we ask how Christianity is supposed to stunt a persons spiritual growth, nothing, an empty vacuous region.

Yes but not because I want to feel important.
