We all have our own unique perspectives and perceptions as to the nature of reality (incl. god or whatever). I'd suggest that we're all just as wrong as each other. No-one has the answer. But then, I think we need to be true to ourselves, to apprecieate out own unique perspective; yet, it's ok to listen to others, of course it is, that good in some ways. But there also comes a point when you just feel, instinctively, that there's no more added value to be had from some other persons' point of view. It's not being unkind to that person, or saying you're right and they're wrong; simple that there's nothing of value in what they're saying, for you personally.

I have to say it, discussions on these issues (god etc), invariably provoke strong reactions in people. I love philospical debate (ususally), but really starting to feel I should steer clear of the god debate!

All the best,

Jamie.
