Just a thought.... if it confuses you, prehaps let the subject alone until you have a bit more understanding.  And just a hint, religion and belief are actually different things. 

Would it not be better to celebrate all who strive for Peace, regardless of their beliefs?  There is common ground to be found.

Yes, Christians believe Jesus is God.


Wouldn't that make Brain a Christian then?

Nice.

And you know don't talk about anything until you have adequate understanding? And how do you measure correctly to know your understanding is adequate? What if you think you know enough about the subject and someone else thinks you don't know what you're talking about? Does that mean you defer to their 'expertise' and let the subject alone until you have a bit more understanding?

**sigh**  So much for Peace.  Wasn't telling you what you can talk about.  Just made a suggestion as you seem to get so aggitated.  For example, you focued on my first paragraph and totally ignored the part where I also suggested that it may better serve to celebrate people who strive for Peace, regardless of their personal beliefs.  Is that really such a bad suggestion?

Using the cap G generally indicates a belief in One G_d, i.e., monotheism.  Using a lower case g indicates that there are several, as in some of the pagan pantheistic beliefs.

For an agnostic or atheist, it shouldn't matter, though...

Not all male doms begin their handle with capital letters. Many do however. Do you suspect God is a Dom?

Atheists should probably not use the name at all since he is invisible to us. Perhaps just a symbol. Using X would not be appropriate as it refers to Jesus. Perhaps 0 would be more useful. I am mainly farting around here. Don't take me seriously. I suspect some wiseass to write back, "we don't" ~laughing~

Perhaps you could consult with those who wrote for "Monty Python" for your answer as to how to name he who can not be named because he does not exist.

I once in one of the threads on the CM forums defined God as being my pillow. I see God every day. God holds my head while I sleep.

I am a bit confused, though. My in use pillow is on my bed. My old pillow is in my back. My new pillow is in its unopened casing on the floor. There are three Gods in my room! Or God has a triple nature!


Me thinks you only recognise your pillow as your god because it has an imprint of your face when you get up in the morning.

I have been listening to Madonna "Ray of light" in the Top 2000. It might be argued that she is God, or at least as old as god.

It doesnt indicate belief. It is a shorthand reference to the singular god, as opposed to polytheism where the reference is to many gods. Its much easier to write capital G God than it is to say "the god that Christians believe in".

Wrong.  Dead wrong.

The first sentence of paganism in Wikipedia is "Paganism[1] is a blanket term used to refer to various non Judeo-Christian religions"

The use of Judeo-Christian here, as I understand it, refers to the three Abrahamic religions (also referred to as the monotheistic religions): Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
