They are all the same. God manifests in many forms.

Then what's the point in "my God is better than your God." I know, but it's so "human," to want to one-up the other guy's God. It's a battle without an actual God winner so it can go on forever. What's not to like.

So pointless, all of it. And the rich get richer.

The тАЬmy God is better than your GodтАЭ is a human failing. And as long as humanity believes тАЬmy God is better than your GodтАЭ no one will тАЬwinтАЭ.

Like you say the battle can go on forever. But the real battle is internal not external. ThatтАЩs a tough one. To confront oneтАЩs own prejudices regarding God (or for that matter anything) is not an easy path. The mindset of seeking to change you (aka win/ beat you) so I can be at peace only brings short term results. Short term results never bring long term peace (internal or external). And fwiw IтАЩm no тАЬsaintтАЭ and are as тАЬguiltyтАЭ as anyone in trying to achieve short term results.

Would like results to last longer than a few minutes before cruel cretins take over the narrative. In Nov 2008, the son of my bff indicated that he would oppose every idea that Obama had. I said the same about W and chump. The difference - Obama didnтАЩt cheat to get in. W and chump most assuredly did. Whose side was God on? ItтАЩs like God is prey being chased by every predator on the planet. Who can grab a scrap?

And, just think, God is apparently also interested in who scores a goal in football but not the guy who doesn't.

If only people would realize that "God" does not vote.
