@rookie54 saidI don't sense any superiority issues.
@IronHorse21
a horse is given blinders to help shield him from his fear
tunnel vision is his balm
to see everything and to realize yer fear, and allow it to pass, will bring peace
@ghost-of-a-duke saidBecause it is easy to dish a believing christian. BY the criteria you set out you found yourself superior. I asked what about love? Do you have superior love to kelly jay.
How did you get that from my reply?
Are correct people superior or merely correct?
@ironhorse21 saidI don't know what "all people in the spirituality forum think".
And the hypothesis was all people in the spirituality forum think they are better then everybody else. Can't be true.
@ironhorse21 saidMost humans have the capacity/need for love. I don't see how this is negated or enhanced by religious beliefs.

@ironhorse21 saidI don't know what matters to you because you almost never talk about anything of substance.
Does it matter I don't know what is in the next universe?

how do you stack up?
@ironhorse21 saidYou think atheists should define love by a book they don't believe in?

I think my concept of love is not deficient by a lack of belief in a deity.
@ironhorse21 saidGod’s love is given to me, there is nothing about me that earns it, so I can not take that as anything that makes me better than another.
Do you noy feel superior because you have god's love?
@ironhorse21 saidThe love of God was given to us all, Jesus laid down His life for us all. Nothing about God's love for me makes me any more or less than anyone else. Those who accept it get to enjoy the love of God, those who don't, will not have God forcing Himself on them. The only feeling about that is amazement that He would love a sinner like me, and all the other sinners here.
Do you noy feel superior because you have god's love?
@ironhorse21 saidBe specific. Which posters here do you think think they are better than everyone else? Names please.
Atheists, Christians or muslim lovers they all consider themselves more important then others who take part in this forum.

@kellyjay saidsonship would be one candidate.
Do you think if a search was done on all the ways that could be stated we would come up empty?
He believed he was "becoming like Jesus" and did not make that claim about anyone else here.
He believed he would receive a reward in "heaven" or have some senior status on account of the "work" he was doing here on this forum. He didn't make this claim about any other poster.
He believed that he was in the process if being deified but it seemed to have a lot to do with being part of his cult.
@fmf saidSuch philosophical profundity.
Everybody's substance on a message board is essentially the substance of what they post. All posts/posters are not equal in terms of the quality or sincerity or relevance or usefulness of what they have to say. People cannot be equally important because importance is subjective. The internet empowers people but it does so indiscriminately.
With keen intellect you navigate complicated, eternal verities with a surety anointed by aplomb.
