154. I've been trying to post this apology for thirty minutes,
but I keep getting sidetracked elsewhere in the thread.

"Cloud" has become a perjorative word, although it si based on the Sistene Chapel depiction of God.

"Invisible being" is an accurate representation of what many Christians believe in.

"Sky god" is an anthropological term for the category of religions to which Judaism, Christianity and Islam belong. It is not perjorative and if you are offended, it is due to ignorance.

Still, I truly do not wish to offend, so I'm sorry I did.

Arrogant? Perhaps. I'm pretty fucking smart and I've given this subject much thought. I do not profess to have "the truth" and I do not believe that nobody has the truth but me.
