Dear Gilbert, My daughter knocked my laptop off the table and I am now given restricted access to my husband's computer. As such my responses are going to be very brief out of compulsions beyond my control :)
I honestly don't have the answers to your several questions but far from "giving advice to God", being an agnostic, I think my stance is one of humility. Being agnostic simply means absence of knowledge. The problem I have with organised religion and latter day theists is the unwillingness to move from one position. Their stance is always that they are in possession of total knowledge and anything new is not to be entertained or tolerated. Religion like all organisms needs to be in a constant state of evolution. It always has been, perhaps at times so glacial that it misses the human eye. But we cannot stop evolving. Why do we now embrace this idea that all that there is know has been made known to us? My stance is simply "I know nothing" and if I discover something from this position than that will be something I truly believe in. Not something that has been handed down to me and forced upon me. As for me cracking codes or deciphering cryptic paintings, well I have no credentials to do either. I am a femme de menage of the "I once won a letter to the editor contest" variety and I have no pretensions beyond that. What I do have are theories. Lots of them. One of them being PDD. :) Elisabeth __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
