Deut. 32.8 said:
You seem more than a little facile with the truth. Demonstrate where I called you pathetic or retract the distortion.
Deut, I had not previously seen this post, but I am responding to your P.M to me, which is written much in the same vein as this post.
To recap; in post#2, I said Quote "Yes, part of religion is Faith - which is what it says - accepting the package on trust. The only thing we can do for God to prove that we love him, is to accept him on trust - that is why he doesn't come around proving to people he exists - that would be too easy for us, if you see what I mean."
To which you replied in post #6 Quote "You clearly have not thought out the contradiction inherent in needing to provide proof to an omniscient God. :biglaugh:
My post #7 to you read quote"Maybe proof is a wrong word - we are being asked to place our entire trust - body and soul in God's hands; we will not get any sign from him while we are choosing whether to do this or not..........is that less funny?"
To which you replied post#8 quote "Yes, thanks. You moved it from the category of absurdly funny to sadly pathetic. How very primitive and anthropomorphic your God turns out to be. So much like the primitive Chieftain demanding loyalty from his tribe. It's almost as if a primitive people made him in their image."
Ceridwen made a consilliary post ,to which I responded to her with quote"Thanks Ceridwen; tell the truth, what Deut thinks, as far as my belief in my God is neither here nor there; he can laugh and call me pathetic 'till the cows come home - won't shake my belief though."
I understand that I said that you had called me 'pathetic', whereas in reality I think I can now see that it was my belief which you see as 'pathetic' - I therefore withdraw my accusation, and therefore retract the distortion as a result of my post.
I can assure you that the post, though creating a distortion of what you said, the distortion was not created intentionally, nor with malice, and I therefore apologise, publically, and wholeheartedly. I am sorry for the offence I caused you, and I was in error.
I hope you can accept that with the sincerity in which it is offered.
