I like having a voice when it comes to matters of faith, and personal belief. I also think ego is absolutely nescessary when it comes to humans attempting to understand such things. Anyone who claims to have tamed the 'ego' are lying to themselves, or they simply don't care about the matters of life on this earth.

I'm not sure where 'engorged' came from in your analysis of this discussion, but I will say that ego is nescessary to give us a voice, and to establish a personal 'self worth', and/or seat in the great scheme of life.

I won't agree with mother, or fake it just to make her happy. I have my own views, (Some very strong) but I do have an open mind, and I'm quite willing (If not eager) to understand the views of others. Hence, the reason for this discussion.

Btw, I'm still discussing this issue with my mum,
