All questions are relevant, as are all answers. How you were raised colours your present belief system. That stands to reason. Prejudices one way or the other lead us to our particular set of beliefs no matter who we are, (scientifically proven by the way), and colour how we see things. That is one of the reasons we all see things differently, even if that is only shades of difference.
I understand and agree with most of what you are saying here.
What I am seeing though is something different. Crotalus is feeding his need to feel good by dint of arguement. He has no intention of satisfying you by answering your questions because then he might appear vulnerable and leave his beliefs open to question.
We know he has limited capacity to answer any of the questions that you or others put to him, because none of us know everything, and science is a long way from answering his or anyone's questions.
Proper use of language is very important when formulating answers and when asking questions, but some people are limited in this capacity, especially when not appearing to want to budge on their own particular dogma, because their minds are not yet open to the possibility of all things being possible.........
Like you I don't care what beliefs anyone has. They are all valid.
I thought you couldn't be swayed on what you believe. How can someone else's thoughts be detrimental to yours if they aren't changing your mind on anything?
It's not like these people wake up in the morning in your bed, and filling your house with candlesticks and crucifixes and bars of soap with pictures of Jesus on them, singing hymns in your shower............
Get this in proportion Crotalus.
If you are trying to seek answers for the anomalies in the Bible or other holy books, then go seek answers from people who actually know something about it. Go to your local seminary and discuss it with theologians, or someone who likes a good arguement.
What you are doing here appears to be feeding an obsesson to insult people with beliefs different to yours. This is not healthy.
Obsession is a mental illness. You are not making yourself look good here..........
I made and sold my first item aged 9, then learned to use a machine in a factory aged 12, then never had a mement to myself. Very similar to you. I later found niche markets and made it into bigger businesses.
Nowadays I have arthritis and cant sit as a machine any more. still do halloween costumes for family and their friends but not like I used to.
No matter what life does to us or how we begin it, with the right attitude, there will always be things to be greateful for, and a chance to do good for ourselves, is one of them.

True and if we stop learning, our minds close. And a closed mind is never going to gain any wisdom.
