I like your wording. It's very considerate to us believers. Your not insistant that we should have the same view in the way you present your ideas. Just ignore the posts that make you irritated, that's what I do. To me the zealots appear over secure. I'm mean they figure they got God on their side. I get very nervous when I'm driving next to one of those people with the plastic crosses hanging from their mirror or those Jesus on board bumper stickers. I mean they figure their going to heaven anyway. I'm not that kind of fanatic believer. I'm just more like an optimistic believer. I think it's just a very attractive idea and I have this need to believe there's something better to look forward to than what we've found we can expect through science. I have this saying; "God spoke us into being so that some day we might return the favor." Basically what I mean is man has this wonderful ability through time to fulfill his own dreams. One of the lines in a sonnet I posted was "We are the messiah of our dreams". What if some day we could have our brains plugged into a virtual heaven right before we die and our thoughts and wishes would effect it's reality. Not only could we meet our virtual God, we could actually be him if we wanted to. I think we'll some day figure out how to bring back the dead, I mean in a small way we already do. I think that the God we dream of today could be a reality in the future or at least a close proximity to it but for know my optimistic heart will go on believing in a natural God, you know, just to be on the safe side.
