. . . ah yes, the shear[sic] thrill of making shit up and convincing yourself that you have learned something. . . and calling it "God."
Quote:I have wrestled with God on my own, and worked out my salvation with fear(awe) and respect. I rely on no one else, no appeal to consensus, nor to scriptural authority, nor any individual cultural mythos. I can stand on the waters I have collected, clarified, and then dug for on my own, finding my own well spring inside me. And I can turn those water's into the wine of joy.It sounds like you can turn it into pride. My guess is that you are in your early 20s, and that you see in yourself great potential, amirite?
