Gims, I don't have a guest room but would be happy to pitch a sleeping bag for you in my bead room! grin

I used to know all the "correct" religious answers -- until one day I realized that the entire game was just that: a GAME. You vs. Me, Us vs. Them. A man-made game where winner takes all, and losers (depending on your particular orientation) are either condemned to hell or a life of unredeemable stupidity. Maybe burnt at a stake or subjugated to 2nd-class (or lower) status.

When I walked off the playing field, my world became larger and so much brighter.

To me, the Bible is one of many great books -- and life cannot be contained in any book. I also don't mean to insult anyone by that statement -- I've stated before that whatever makes you a better, more loving person -- is the right path for you.

It doesn't matter if anyone else here has the exact same beliefs as I do, because that's the old Us vs. Them. I don't want to prove anything, argue anything, or proselytize.

I'm interested in what unites us.
