Then I would stop posting if I were you. At present you are doing a fantastic job of making believers look like morons.

Some people think I'm very spiritual.

It's actually a pretty interesting concept, the original usage simply meant breath - because people thought that our breath held the spark of life. The idea of spirit as soul, some kind of essence of our identity that exists in some non-physical realm is a much later addition.

As i said, if you really do love this god of yours - or have a shred or respect for other believers you should stop posting.

I don't mind that you believe or don't.
The aim of the quote is ...discretion.

Try cast wisdom in a bad neighborhood.
Consider your retreat BEFORE you speak.

The only alternate explanation for your behaviour is that you are an anti-theist pretending to be a believer in order to demean, discredit and diminish them. If that is the case, it is a despicable tactic.

The will to survive comes from within us, not from the outside. It does not need any external force.

What has that got to do with your comment about perpetual motion? Will is not motion, are you changing the subject, or just posting word salad?

You seem utterly uninterestrd in making sense.

Perpetual motion is something that is powered by itself. It does not require something outside of itself to move. Life is powered by its own instinctive need to survive. There is a force behind every living creature to continue its existence. This continuation does not stop with the individual. We have the instinctive will to continue our species by procreation. Our offspring is literally an extension of ourselves. All our offspring has half our DNA. We are driven to protect our offspring because they are an extension of ourselves. This instinctive drive to protect does not end with our offspring. From there it goes to our extended family, then our tribe or community and so on. There is a sort of connectivity between ALL people.

Which is completely unrelated to perpetual motion.

Perpetual motion is also something that does not exist, so i can not imagine what point it is you are trying to make.

Yep, and the Hebrew had YHVH's POWER being sent forth to accomplish things, - not a being.

That is Tribal survival instinct, - not something from a God.
