I am here to see what other people think about questions I think are important. What have I done so far that makes you think I am here to proselytize? To the contrary, I have made a conscious effort to avoid even mentioning god in any of my posts unless it somehow related to someone else's comments. I have been trying to be open-minded and honestly listen to your answers and respect your ideas. Can you point to comments of mine that show a failure in that regard? Seriously, what have I done to make you all so suspicious of my intentions?
Again, a simple "all I've been able to come up with myself is .." would probably put people at ease.
Myself, I'm not sure why you are concerned with what is necessary in general when necessary would seem to be a relational word.
I'm glad you've taken an interest here! My aim, as alluded to above, is to examine those three propositions, but especially to learn different points of view about those propositions as well. Sometimes the way other people work through a question helps my own working it out. In the case of this thread, I can honestly say that most people have contributed to a clearer picture of the concepts for me. And I am thankful for that. I hope your own thoughts may help me as well.
