Well, it looks like a bunch or people are packing their tents and leaving this discussion. I agree that it may be time to take a break from this topic.
Before I end my participation, I'll add one last thought. I think there are supposed to be different religions, different ways of interpreting God (or not believing in God at all). Otherwise, God and spirituality would be ho-hum. For example, if I said "I think the world is round" everyone would say "Yup." End of discussion. Instead, the differences make for lively discussion and hopefully a continual re-evaluating of our own beliefs - strengthening, changing, and even discarding our own tenets of spirituality. Thank you to everyone who answered my honest question about literal belief in Jesus Christ. I don't want to adopt the belief, just understand it so that I can accept the difference from my own belief system. lots of love Anne
