LOL A person can go to great lengths to build an inner calm where everything is in it's place only to have some tit who thinks otherwise come and upset your whole cart.
Reading the Bible doesn't create a 'safe spot' for you. It actually teaches that safety only comes after all the sinners are dead. The catch-22 for us is if we start to kill people we become someone that qualifies to be killed because they are sinning.
The spiritual comfort one might find in the words of the Bible is nothing compared to being on the living side of this verse.
Isa:66:16:
For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh:
and the slain of the LORD shall be many.

Only after something like that can one really say for sure what it feels like to be in His presence. Reading is nothing compared to the event.

You either can't read correctly or your brain is too old to grasp new things and in your frustration you revert to insults.
Or else you are wrong.
If anyone is insulting you, it's yourself.
I,ll say it again ;You are experiencing things in the present ,now .When you think about that very experience ,obviously you are thinking abut the past .
Yeah, ideas don't just pop into anyone's noggin. ok Whatever you say.​

Don't forget that you have to eat when you are hungry and most of all don't forget to breath .
That's why I have the hunger feeling. I don't have to remember to eat or breath. Those, for me, are automatic behaviors.
Man you're nuts.
Thanks, but the squirrels haven't packed me off yet.​

So your saying there could be a goose that lays golden eggs?

It so unlikely that you could say there isn't IMO.

Once something becomes so absurdly unlikely why not relegate it to the doesn't pile?

My point was that my hunger spurred the idea that I should eat. It wasn't memory. It was an idea, a thought. It had an origin, action, and then became history. If your brain didn't process the feeling of hunger you would have to remember to eat now and then. Fortunately there aren't that many people that have to remember to eat because they have no feeling of hunger.Believe it or not, we think even when we aren't conscious of thinking.

You did not realize you had to eat until your body told you it needed food, you
responded to the instinctive signal, if you think that is an idea you had,
fine, I don't.
You might get an idea of what you want to cook when you get hungry, that is
legit, but you would become hungry whether you thought about it or not.
just a difference of opinion, I'm not going to say you are wrong, I just have
it different than you, no sweat.
