For those that believe in a Higher Power

In the course of my history of debating the very existence of intelligent design or life in the spirit as I know it there was always talk of evidence. I have come to assume my opposition was mostly concerned with scientific evidence because the courts that seek evidence often ask the witness to swear to tell the truth , whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you God . It would not make sense to ask the help of an entity you had no faith in.

If you do not believe any power is greater than another power then I suggest you go to the For those who don't believe in a God thread though you are welcome to disagree with any statement or question asked here.

When we are in love I believe it is natural to want everyone to know

I tend to agree with C.S. Lewis that there are four kinds of love.

Any thoughts?

Well, for me, it all started on a warm Spring morning in a small town in Texas. I remember acting up in the up-front second row pew. Momma had warned me repeatedly to behave, but I like any 4 year old did'nt listen very well. So, she marched me down the aisle past all those people and I thought we were leaving. Ha,ha, I got my way. Out the door under a blossoming tree which had the prettiest pink flowers we stopped. Momma stripped a branch off that pretty tree and burned my bottom with a fierceness I had never seen nor felt before. With tears in my eyes and a hot rear end we walked back down that aisle; all those people never even looked at us and we sat down; me ever so lightly, butt I did not move through the rest of the sermon. I did'nt fall in Love that day, but I had new found respect for my Mother.

Thank you for sharing your tough love experience, Edward, the love between parent and offspring is one of the love covered in Lewis's "The Four Loves"

There are many ways that love is received and given. The only fear I recall while I had the feeling of falling in love was the fear of falling out of love or falling from grace lol
