    Scientific spiritulaity- the future of relegion-- what do you think?

    "and of you are a Christian fundamentalist Yoga and complementary medicine is forbidden too in fact anything that is enlightening from eastern civilisation." Eastern civilisation has much to offer us, SacredStar; I agree.

    Opinions on my Spirituality essay

    A good piece DTS; well expressed I thought. BUT.... "Through the will of focus, one should take note of those things which he or she has and what he or she can work with. We should make an active effort every day to appreciate that which is good while it lasts." and so we should, but...

    Where do WE begin & end?

    Sorry to say it Jn Jean, but that Kabbalah stuff appears to me to be a rather nasty, confusing set of pronouncements which sounds more like propaganda than anything else. How can anyone take seriously stuff about 'Upper Forces' and 'The Souls', and 'Upper Light'? Where is the evidence for...

    Homosexuality

    1. Same sex relationships have existed since the dawn of human historical time and in all likelihood from before that. 2. If this is so, why does anyone have to be judgemental about it from any particular viewpoint, yea or nay, it being a fact of human existence, and in other animal species...

    Embracing new understandings

    Surely any personally validated Faith can be interpreted in any way at all... according to the affective nature and nurture of the individual. All other considerations based in the traditions and dogmas (and doctrines) of established religions have nothing whatsoever to do with the essence of...

    Ulitmate Question!

    Hi PM, I too do not really understand the question in terms of what use you think the information could be put. I am a theist, in as much as I have a personal faith. That does not prevent me from witnessing the horrors of blind faith in some religions, and the nonsenses of doctrines and...

    Scientific spiritulaity- the future of relegion-- what do you think?

    The latest famous scientist and thinker to posit a view that the observable complexity in the micro and macro-universe could be an indication of intelligence, is Professor Flew, but he recently has made a point that all those of a religious turn of mind, and some of the Press media circus are...

    Belief takes shape...

    But what about the symbolism in there, Bruce? What did you think of that?

    Christians you are on Trial Bring your Bible and Defend your self

    "That was a horrible song there was nothing diverse about it.. it was vulgar." It may justifiably be so, FaithfulServant, but it makes one think, does it not? ;)

    Different Bible Translations - St Jerome

    A saint is simply a concept created by some human beings. In the New Testament, St. Paul used the term to mean a member of the Christian community, but the term more commonly refers to those noted for their holiness and venerated during their lifetimes or after death. In Roman Catholicism and...

    Hell

    PM, I am here to avoid suffering as much as possible, and provide similar conditions for my wife and family, and hopefully contribute towards the same for society in general. Why should we view life as suffering? Just because so many of the human race suffer? Isn't that the reason we...

    Want to Live a Good life? Here's what Ancient Greece had to say.

    I am not really sure what you are saying in your first main post, PM. Are you suggesting that Greek culture, as it is today, is some kind of paragon? In ancient times they did seem to be very accepting of homosexuality in many of their social groupings, and they did believe in a whole...

    The Knowledge of God versus the Knowledge of Good and Evil

    Further thought, Bandit: "Prov 9:10 For the reverence and fear of God are basic to all wisdom. Knowing God results in every other kind of understanding. (TLB)" I saw this on the website LINK, Bandit, and wondered why there should be "fear" at all in "all wisdom"? What has fear got to do...

    The Knowledge of God versus the Knowledge of Good and Evil

    Elephants that obscure your view, Bandit, should be with their fellow elephants, not hanging about with you, obscuring your view and getting in the way of your reasoned actions. I suggest putting your elephant into a zoo, or returning him or her to the wild, which would be preferable. If you...

    Is God omniscient or limited?

    Thankyou for the comments, FaithfulServant, but I do think you make a fundamental error and base everything else around it. You cannot have read my nearly 200 postings here very carefully. FAITH is to be treasured for what it is, an affective response based in the affecftive nature and...

    Your opinion on my religion essay (short)

    I agree DTS. I was most impressed with your personal thinking here. There is certainly nothing of "The attempt to de-humanize humans", as Quahom said, implicit in your material so far as I could see. In fact what you have stated seems to me emininently humanistic and reasonable. They...

    The Metaphysical Body

    "My 'proof' for a metabody is the same as your proof for a body..." This is just not so, DTS. After years of work with people in a disturbed state, it is perfectly obvious that their body and mind is the cause of their conditions. Your concept of a 'metabody' as you later demonstrate in...

    The Metaphysical Body

    DTStrain, "The metaphysical body" is a contradiction. There is the body, demonstrably so. Where is the evidence for a meta - physical body? You originally stated: "But bodies are addictive to a mind." That is nonsense, and if it isn't please explain simply what it is you do mean...

    Is God omniscient or limited?

    Hi Faithful Servant, :) What a strange argument to put forward in defence of a spiritual Faith. I have been married for a very long time and have seven grandchildren. Believe it or not, it doesn't really bother me if my wife has been 'faithful' all her life. We are still together and we...
