my religous input for the year
moses was walking along one day , when he seen an old man praying
" and i will wash your feet ,o lord , and i will comb your hair ,o lord " he was praying
so moses admonished him , telling him that the things he was saying were wrong
later that day , when moses was walking with god, god said to moses
"today , you chased away a good man from me, for he does not have the ability to percieve that i am an incorpeal deity, and therefore have no hair to comb, no feet to wash
that was as close as he was able to come to me, this was the limit of his understanding"
i could tell you that god isnt a "being " , but if your spiritualilty hasnt developed to the piont where you understand this , you will simply tell me that im wrong
the conversation goes downhill from there , for you may feel the need to " prove " to me how wrong i am, and how right you are
speak to each man , according to his understanding , not yours
and as for god creating the universe for man, he created just for me, thank you very much

I don't feel the need to prove to you that you are wrong. I will however ask you for evidence so you can prove yourself correct. I understand fully well the concept of your God not being... a being. I do not rule a higher power, but I do rule out the Christian God. I also believe that religion should not be taught in schools, or pushed on children by their parents. You must be brought up without bias if you have any chance of making an educated decision on creation myths.
I understand that you may think that god not being a being is reason enough to not have sufficient evidence, but I don't think that's the case. If you're going to argue for something, you
must have evidence. What you wrote, about the old man praying, Moses walking with God, how do you know this happened?
Blind faith is one of the most dangerous things on the planet.
I am not attempting to prove you wrong, there is nothing to prove wrong. That may sound arrogant in your eyes but I do not mean it hurtfully, in argumentative terms, you have not really said anything I can disprove, moreso simply told a story and gave an opinion.
