Re: Food For Thought
My point is that in my opinion, one cannot simply choose Gods the same way one would choose a new coat. Perhaps you have a point in that attachment is based on continual familiarity and positive reinforcement. I dont believe that all "gods" have the same capability of providing what is needed, but there is no way to prove it. Critics will say that all I have is subjectivity.

Re: Food For Thought
I wonder what our member Faith thinks of your analysis? It seems as if you are presenting it honestly...I would be interested in her opinion, but she (also) prefers to steer around these sorts of topics.
