Hi Drifter;

First let me say I appreciate the banter, and agree with your posts.

I think I'm going to get a bit deeper and personal here, but this is my thread, and may be instrumental in understanding my Idea.

When I was 33 about 30 years ago, I was going through a divorce and very depressed, ( and at that time agnostic ).

I was at home alone, when I called my wife, who was now in another state with my children, that I was contemplating suicide.

She said " Pat I can't handle this " and hung up. ( a very wise woman ).

So I got my 9mm and went into the bedroom closet, and proceeded to cry like a baby.

When I existed the closet I EXPERIENCED the most incredible feeling of absolute and unconditional love for me personnaly.

I repented for the next 3 days, now recognizing that my family and friends and everything came to me through God's Love .

I was, and still am an asshole, but a bigger one then. I was so paranoid, stressed, and negative and then everything changed with the awareness of God's Love.

I give you this confession to let you know why I agree with the only way of really knowing something for certain is through God's grace or as you put it "the bounty of the holy spirit".

And so my Idea is just that, an Idea I came up with while searching for God, and I found Him everywhere.

My firm belief is that "God is Love and only Love is Real"

Best and keep up the banter,

Pat

P.S. The nuns told me that our purpose is to know, love and serve God, so we can be happy with him in Heaven. ( Heaven to me is here and now ). Pretty close to your Necessities HUH?
