Well, of course, when everyone agrees on a basic premise, they don't end up in circles, but, we don't agree.

Sometimes, as is obvious, threads go off on tangents. This is one of them.

If all these discussions end up in circles, then after a while, it would seem obvious, that that is just the way it is.

How have I hesitated to articulate my faith? I have said that I believe in God...that is the faith I have. I have told you many times, but you don't seem to be able to grasp it. What do you want me to say?

[Dr. Eckleburg]

I thought I was clear. Sorry if I wasn't.

The question is "Do you believe in the God of the Old and New Testaments?

WHAT God do you believe in? Since I've shown you there are many gods that people revere as the "one God," the question calls for an explanation beyond "I believe in God."

Which God? Where did you find Him? Where did He find you? What is He the God of? How does He manifest Himself as God?

Is your god Ahura Mazda? Is your god a Bear? A Tree? A Woodland Sprite? A Platonic base? The Great Oz? Charlton Heston? Pastries? The Super Ego? Lucre? Satan? Self? Clouds?

Who is your God, stuart? If you're going to post for three days on the FR Religion Forum, you should be able to answer that question.

Or else you're just pretending.
