Just a thing to think about before you post one of these quotes. Is it really a gem to be posted or is it something that uplifts one belief by putting down another?

I can't speak for Gus, but I think it's possibly the posts that were putting down atheists that turned her off, not necessarily because they said the word "god."

I think it's just a good reminder to really consider what the quote your posting is actually saying.

I have enjoyed many of the quotes shared here. Thank you to all.

Looking back I see one I posted that seems a little iffy, sorry about this.

I saw a few, not just from you, that were iffy to me, but two in particular I found outright offense, one directly and one ondirectly. But I also think this can be an opportunity for us to learn how to talk to each other without getting hostile. And I appreciate that.

"So you should view this fleeting world -
A star at dawn, a bubble in a stream,
A flash of lightening in a summer cloud,
A flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream."

The Buddha from Diamond Sutra

Treat others the way you want to be treated and life should go OK at least, if not great!
