SnozzleBerry and universe cannon have transcended the false dichotomy you are so zealously promoting haeratic. In time you will break through this limited boundary in which you are trapped. Keep engaging, for that is YOUR spiritual quest. I am not smug or narcissitic, so before you dismiss what I am saying just TRY to "think out of the box" which represents your present confinement.

It is clear to me because I used to live in that box, and it was a hard struggle to escape. I sympathize with your plight. Only you can unshackle yourself, so keep working at it. It does little to improve your situation by picking fights with the world. But this is a good place to find the clues you need. Please open your mind to a BIGGER God than the one (or those) to which you pledge fealty.

You are on the road less traveled, so feel free to engage me. I can understand your frustration. For once, just pretend to accept that you do not know everything there is to know. Some have tread the same path as you. Just open your mind to the possibility that you can actually learn from others. Believe me, it is as if a tremendous weight has been shed from your shoulder,
