And how would you rate your success thus far?

About zero, in a number of ways.

Thus far, we are agreed.

It seems I made a number of mistakes.

In direct defiance of much very good and well-meant advice, one might add.

Nothing new, I have made them before, and doubtless I will again,
although I hope they get less serious as a result of experience and
knowledge.

Yeah, good luck with that.

One of those mistakes was subscribing to this group at
all.

That may well have been a mistake for you, but it would be a mistake to
suppose that it is necessarily such for anyone else.

Not really serious, as apart from getting me annoyed and
frustrated at being unable to thwart a really nasty subject in his
nefarious endeavours, it has no real effect on my life.

You don't believe that. Why should anyone else?

Think it really is about time I began enjoying my indifference.

Yeah, good luck with that.

""If he is infinitely good, what reason should we have to fear him? If
he is infinitely wise, why should we have doubts concerning our
future? If he knows all, why warn him of our needs and fatigue him
with our prayers? If he is everywhere, why erect temples to him? If he
is just, why fear that he will punish the creatures that he has filled
with weaknesses? If grace does everything for them, what reason would
he have for recompensing them? If he is all-powerful, how offend him,
how resist him? If he is reasonable, how can he be angry at the blind,
to whom he has given the liberty of being unreasonable? If he is
immovable, by what right do we pretend to make him change his decrees?
If he is inconceivable, why occupy ourselves with him? IF HE HAS
SPOKEN, WHY IS THE UNIVERSE NOT CONVINCED? If the knowledge of a God
is the most necessary, why is it not the most evident and the
clearest?"
