Many talk with Divinity. Who gets a "verbal" reply?
1) The self-righteous self-deluded?
2) The Righteous who are worthy.

20 AnswersCooking & Recipes1 decade agoDo we need a new Category in Society & Culture called Non-Religion & Materiality?

No disrespect here. But does anyone really know what they think they are doing answering questions in Religion & Spirituality?
