(16 page thread, sorry I'm not going back and see if anyone else, or, LOL me, has already made that point)
Merciful, long suffering, giving, compassionate, forgiving, of life, creating
It is the Will of GOD for all to simply have Faith in GOD and as such, in themselves, as GOD's creations, using the conscience and utter inner honesty to not only discern what is truly right, but in all perceivable cases, to act accordingly on such.
