Yes, I had noticed and I see nothing more wrong in that than I see in every other of man's attempts to create God in their own image.
I'm sure it's right for you, just as is everyone else's religious inclination.
Hold fast to what is right for you....in the words of St Francis of Assisi "Preach...
Janet Waters (same surname as me) introduces the Christian 'Gap Theory'.
Intriguing stuff which may or may not be 'true'......Do you reckon that God wrote 'Genesis' ? (and the bit in Isaiah which refers to God "not having created the world a void"),
I may well sit close to savagewind on this question, in that I too recognise Christianity's folly in falling for what I call 'Bibliolatry'.
God just has to be God of the entire Universe (if he is to be GOD at all), and he ain't GOD once man (of whatever religion) reckons he knows the Divine mind...
I believe (by faith and inner conviction that you might call 'instinct') in God and Christ but, having wandered far away from 'mainstream' as a result of years of forum interaction, that's about as as far as it goes.

Be my first thought every morning and my last thought every day, and in between this vessel fill, to think and act 'Thy Way'. Then when to sleep my soul returns, may the dreams upon my bed, reflect the wakened moments...
Hello Felidae,
I'd rather chat with a gentle non assertive atheist that with a strident insular Christian.
As you say this forum is gigantic.....I don't get further than chatting with newcomers in this particular Board, and hope to strike up a few friendships in consequence (without regard to...
I reckon everybody, if asked, should be prepared (but not required) to explain the reason behind their choice of username.
I'm still interested......Mike.
So you're an elderly maternal bicostal nomadistic pantheistic non-traditional contempory pagan Universalist witch who did something really naff like getting married, eh?
And not wanting t infer hypercriticality I went for 'white' as an alternative to 'black'.
Now you tell me why you call yourself Pot-Kettle.:rolleyes:
Mike.
Hi Pot-Kettle
I guess you call everyone 'white'.
As you see the forum is enormous....I just rattle around the 'Introductions'.
Pleased to meet you.....Mike
We are all but specks of dust or grains of sand in a desert revealed or covered by the wind.
I've never noticed the specks and grains that you mention and I'll wager you've never never heard of the speck and grain that is me and my forum.....but we think that we are as significant as the sparrow...
