That's not quite correct. What I have come to is a "message board moment", and it will
only be for a moment, I felt this thread deserved comment. I'm not getting entangled in boards again. As for the "Jesus moment", well you really don't know me. This "Jesus moment" began when I was about 8 years old, and whether I've accepted him as the Son of God, a "great Prophet", or "a great man", you're not going to find me talking him down or being sarcastic. Questioning certainly, even his very existence, which was a phase I went through in quite a lot of depth (Doherty, Wells, Acharya,
et.al) some years ago.
One reason I decided to leave this board is because I felt it was doing no good for my "spirituality" (and I think there's plenty of evidence for that, and most here would agree), and the atmosphere was way too negative. I feel much better "inside" when I'm off boards, and have a clearer conscience, because they become verbal battlefields, and many a friendship has been lost on message boards.
I hope you're a little clearer on that now, Rock.
