Gavia, I love your post and wrote up a lengthy reply but deleted it.  The "God" topic is similar to sports and politics.  To each his own I say.

TomT -

I appreciate your comment.  We all come from different places yet, every year, we choose to visit the very same place. 

This thread is a good one to the extent we can be respectful and uplifting of each other.  I expect that's why most of us come to QuietJourney.

By no means do I wish to dissuade provocative thinking and discussion.   However, if we do not exercise some care, mindfulness and respect, the tenor of such discussion can go south in a hurry.

When I find myself "trailing off" or leaning a little much one way or another, sometimes I find it best to take the discussion off-line via PM's.

So far, I couldn't be happier with what I've read in this thread.  Spartan 2's re-post of "The Silence" got it right (for me) right down to the Maker's Mark!

Great stuff to read on this very first day of Spring, 2017!  The year feels promising....
