sqrl, I am in no way offended. I welcome the exchange of points of view, expressing ones points of view and the right to disagree. I like being challenged in this sense. I do feel misinterpreted though by you and I'm not sure why that is...I feel I've made some excellent points here. My understanding of what you're saying above is that you think this all comes down to "free will". For the most part it is, we can either choose to accept or deny, we can either choose to believe it or not. But that doesn't change reality either. Some things God has set in motion are not up for negotiation or the exercising of free will. Such as is there a heaven and a hell. You ARE here for a purpose. Your life DOES of have meaning. We ABSOLUTELY have choices. We are born and we die. But inbetween the lines of all these things is where we choose our path in and about these things.

I hope that I have not offended you dear sqrl. I love your mind, I love the way you think. And, of course, I adore you.
