Currently, my attention is split between readings given by/through Edgar Cayce; books about Cayce/the Cayce readings; the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda (author of Autobiography of a Yogi and many other titles); and various works of Ernest Holmes, founder of the Science of Mind (formerly...

Hi, Roger Buck. If you don't mind me asking, which Christian denomination do you now follow? NOTE: I know that I mentioned ACIM at the start of this thread. I own a copy of it that's in pristine condition because I've not yet read it. Well, I started it at one point and got maybe 1/3 of the...

Sally, I don't know what's going on, but this forum isn't letting me send messages via the normal route; my fingers are crossed that you receive this message. Could you please give me your e-mail address again? I realize that neither of us visit this site very frequently anymore, so it...

This story saddens me. There are many stories detailing homosexual behavior exhibited by (non-human) animals in--where else?--nature; so how can anyone claim that homosexuality is "unnatural?" :rolleyes:

The entire point of this thread is speculation--i.e., speculation of whether or not suicide is a grave sin. What you call "judgmental" is pure speculation/opinion, for which we fellow members have been asked to share.

On the one hand, I believe in hindsight as being a valid instructor. But there are certain behaviors/practices that should never, ever be--for which hindsight shouldn't be necessary.

This is my answer, as well.

Understood and agreed. :D

May I ask what your revelation was? Were you guided to follow a certain religious path/ sect?

I second this idea. I've taken the Belief-O-Matic quiz several times over the past eight years; my top five results have never been the same, which, IMO, shows that my beliefs are evolving.

I can't argue this point; it makes very good sense to me. :D If the body is God's temple, then we ought take good care of it. But there is a BIG difference between taking care of the body and obsessing about it--even becoming a slave to it. DS
