Good deal, they are hard earned years...As I stated that was my opinion based on things I have seen... Mostly that experience has been with new comers and usually they are looking for an out.I am sure you have seen that also...I had some problems with the "god" thing also but was able/needed/had to get past that if I wanted to live literally...so I just ignored all of the "god" stuff, didn't pretend just ignored it...was really not all that difficult once I decided to do it..Every ones experience is different in many ways but the goal is the same..

There are groups that do not use any "god" analogies for those of us who have trouble with it..

P.S. nothing personal at all but I have seen old timers such as we are look for excuses also....
