Your post did nothing to change that
I didn't think I was trying to change your mind. Why would I be interested in doing that anyway? Who cares about being right? I just do what I do, say what I say. I honestly don't care whether someone likes or agrees with what I say. I post for the sheer interest in the responses. Just some fun for me, nothing more.

(**nor did you answer my question), although I thought it was interesting
Your "right there". Except that I was not limiting myself to "God or no God". I was talking about EVERYTHING you see, touch, hear, feel... As I have said before to others. Think of something that bothers you. We think the best or only way to solve that problem is to change the thing (or whatever) that is causing us the problem. The problem is usually with the external world in our minds. Want to know the fastest, most guaranteed way to do that? Drop your opinion of it, and it will DEFINETELY change at that very moment. Don't change your opinon, drop it. Then you will be looking at reality. It was a shocker for me. Then I had a different view of the God, no God argument. Doesn't matter what I decided. What matters is that I saw the choice from an angle that I never considered before. And it DID INDEED look different. I think I was at least given a fighting chance at the question. Sorry, but that might be the best way I can put it. It's very hard for me.
