God and Morality: Separate Issues

[Oldandeasilyconfused]

Both of you are unfamiliar with life

Really? Sorry, can't resist replying to such a stupid and ignorant ad hominem. (note I say "stupid and ignorant ad hominem "I have not insulted GC personally)

I can only judge by her posts: From my observation, Summer Queen is one of the more intelligent, perceptive,articulate and yes,mature members we have. GC on the other hand, presents as insular and dogmatic in thought with little perception of the real world.

Some of my own life experiences:

I'm 63 years old .

Recovering Catholic for over 40 years.

Recovering alcoholic (over 8 years sober)

Been married and divorced

Worked in Welfare for over 25 years dealing with; unemployed,single parents, refugees , homeless (almost invariably victims of some form of gross abuse) and criminals on the day of release.

Conscripted and served in an infantry battalion as a medic. Served overseas for 14 months ,the majority of that time in Muslim country. (Malaysia no war)

After the army,spent 14 years studying part time completing high school, a business diploma and a BA (straight As)


I've done some traveling,having visited exactly 20 countries and 51 cities.(including; US,Canada, UK, France ,Greece,Italy. and Mainland China)

SO sonny, I suggest you resist making fatuous comments about people you don't know,it just makes you look more of a fool than your posts do generally.
