Nah, wouldn't say my beliefs are a comfort blanket, more of a confirmation and strength. That may offend you, irritate you, who knows? Who cares. God is who I answer to, not Pwcca or Pwcca's ideas of "truth". I wonder how your friend Linear feels when you call his faith a comfort blanket? Seems your apparent acknowledgement and "respect" for his and other people's beliefs are once again contradicted by your inability to hold back the underlying contempt, disrespect and anger. Hence why it's impossible to take you seriously.

Lying to oneself maybe something we've all done and not easy to come to terms with, at least not without a touch of humility and the grace of God. May He enlighten your mind and heart Pwcca and you'll get to see yourself as you see us (faulty/sinful). Perhaps you'll resist. Who knows?

Sadly, projecting your own faults (venom and hate) onto others probably won't help the process of facing yourself, as it won't for any of us. Most people on here, no matter what beliefs, have shown on occassion the humility to admit their faults. Can you do this too? Or is it just safer and more preferable/comfortable to project it onto others?
