I am sorry. I may have made you angry. I do not have all the answers. I admire those who seek far and wide to find answers to the unknown. You believe all the answers can be found in one old book. I don't accept that limitation on the search for wisdom. I do think I am more than a cricket. I thought your book said the same, something about dominion over them. And I think the earth circled on its axis and revolved around the sun for many billion years (maybe except that one day when Joshua made the sun stop) We are never going to agree on the truthiness of religion. We can agree on the golden rule, on the values of honesty and sacrifice for community and family. Is that enough for you? If I am wrong and am to spend eternity in hellfire for being a good person who denied God his obeisance then I am sure I will find myself in the company of many fine people. I love my children whether they love me back or not. I would hope a God worth worshipping would outdo me in that regard.
