RE: the questions you have layed out are far too many for me to think about at once
I understand. I don't know the answers either, which is why I ask them. But I understand that others have work, school, family, etc, and might not have the disposable time I have as a retired person.
RE: Growing up with abusive parents make a little child internalize their behaviour
Well, yes. Years of therapy helped with that. My background, being what it is though, has spurred me on to find the answers I was punished for asking.
RE: This should be enough for an ordinarily intelligent person to get the point.
But it isn't. All gods are claimed to be kind and good. At least, I know of none that claim otherwise. I realize speaking with a person such as I can be tedious at best. My beloved wife can give you all the confirmation you need of this fact. I realize that you are convinced, and I respect that conviction. I just haven't reached that moment of epiphany.
Again, I sincerely thank you for taking your time to comment and thank you for your patience.
