Liz, I hope you do not want to mix Friedrich Nietzsche into this back-and-forth! He was a believer, otherwise he could not conclude that "God is dead". I asked par5ticipants of several 'religions' about their VERY FIRST encounter with the concept of God and received no answer. The positive negatives were of the form: "That must have bee God (or His action)". Assumed. Or on exaples. Or on a Script presumed to have been written by God - exactly in that langauge how it was read. Now the i-phone software has to be written in some 120+ languages. Including many different alphabets. Well, things get obsolete. Even the US Constitution with its 200 yo text baased on a 3-500 yo philosophy (including the right to have slaves) just for the purpose that those educated rich gentlemen should not be forced to pay taxes to the king of England. And there is that darn 'democracy' (I call it an oxymoron), nowhere and never has it been practically established. It includes the suppression of a minority and prctically the totality of the people cannot fulfill the wish of all of them. And then come the big joke: to propose to authoritarian religious communities to become democratic.
So: P E A C E ! I propose to let our beloved friend be happy in her devoted belief - I learned from her. John Mikes who tried several avenues of 'beliefs'.
