What are YOUR thoughts, Guy? MineralMan Sep 2018 #1

You know what you personally believe. guillaumeb Sep 2018 #3

That is not an answer. MineralMan Sep 2018 #4

Much of what you say here to theists, and the manner in which you choose to say it, guillaumeb Sep 2018 #6

Hey, at least he's up front and honest about what he believes. Act_of_Reparation Oct 2018 #8

And upfront with insults and condescension. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #9

I see you've dropped back in to talk about me. MineralMan Oct 2018 #10

I already did. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #11

Are you a theist, Guy? MineralMan Oct 2018 #12

To help you: guillaumeb Oct 2018 #13

That is not an answer. MineralMan Oct 2018 #14

I believe in the Creator. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #15

Which creator? There are many. MineralMan Oct 2018 #16

I was raised in the RCC. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #17

That is also not an answer. MineralMan Oct 2018 #18

My answer is consistent with the poem that is the subject of this post. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #19

I cannot ask Rumi. MineralMan Oct 2018 #20

See #15. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #21

Perhaps, then, you are simply a deist. MineralMan Oct 2018 #22

Again, as my posts make obvious, guillaumeb Oct 2018 #23

Never mind, then. MineralMan Oct 2018 #24

We both have our own answers. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #25

You love this shit! PJMcK Oct 2018 #29

He appears to be a deist who calls himself a Christian marylandblue Oct 2018 #28

Well, of late, it looks like he's branching out. MineralMan Oct 2018 #31

Many formerly liberal Christians went further, like Gil. Bretton Garcia Oct 2018 #32

Thank you, Guillaumeb, as always for getting to the heart of why we all matter. cornball 24 Sep 2018 #2

Thank you. guillaumeb Sep 2018 #5

I am human. I am flawed. The life I've lived deserves no laud. So I pray cornball 24 Sep 2018 #7

What a stupid premise in the poem. bitterross Oct 2018 #26

Names are critical. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #27

You can't prove that. Act_of_Reparation Oct 2018 #30

Your last sentence was by far the best part of your reply. eom guillaumeb Oct 2018 #33

Funny. The first two sentences are things you often say. marylandblue Oct 2018 #34

Look. See, they're not true when others say them. MineralMan Oct 2018 #36

Is that what the author meant? Voltaire2 Oct 2018 #35

That is my interpretation of Rumi's poem. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #37

Seriously? Voltaire2 Oct 2018 #38

It means whatever I say it means at the time I say what it means. MineralMan Oct 2018 #39

What is a name? guillaumeb Oct 2018 #40

I'm rubber and you're glue. Voltaire2 Oct 2018 #41

No, it was your responses that did that. guillaumeb Oct 2018 #42
