Thanks good to know :)I will look at some in the morning. Gotta turn in now! Good to cross paths with you.

Also what might happen again and again?

Intriguing. Are you sure this is what these things mean? There is something that reminds me of this Who Is Allan Cronshaw? and his several other affiliated sites. Are you familiar?

I know the member who posted this is not on the forum anymore. I just wanted to mention generally that I remember this song being sung at Unity church many times over the years when I was there.

Hi, Welcome! We have an introductions thread here Introductions

Hi! Welcome! We have an introductions thread so you can post a little about yourself here! Introductions

Well, it sounds like congratulations are in order! Hope all goes well! I hope you drop in once in awhile though!!

I guess things ebb and flow, but I miss the lively discussions we used to have here. Things have been extremely quiet! There used to be like 20 people who were discussing and debating more or less round the clock (or so it seemed) I have been stopping by more often right as things began to drop...

When I was little, I heard my country was great because we allowed “religious freedom” As I understood is, that means you can have any religion you want, or not have a religion. Some other countries weren’t as nice as you couldn’t have that right. That is what I was told. I was fascinated by...

One thing I may never have been incredibly explicit about before is what I DO believe. Other than to say I share ideas with deists and theists, and that I’m fairly convinced that a supernatural order of some kind exists, I find it unrealistic and unreasonable to make solid claims about anything...

Not being raised religious, I thought all kinds of things that were out of alignment with any kind of doctrine or catechism, mostly because I didn’t know those things at all and was surrounded by adults who were most definitely not in alignment with mainstream religion. PERSONAL HEADCANON: I...

It came up on the forum last year, from somebody, that we should do a thread on theological headcanon. Headcanon is personal belief that may not line up with official canon or catechism. I think we were talking about what attracted us to an interfaith forum, and many people said they wanted to...

For anybody still listening: Are we still looking for ways to attract new members?

The idea of blessing one's food and giving thanks for it aligns with the idea. Holiday meals seem sacred, because of the memory and emotion attached, even though my upbringing was mostly secular. The idea that some foods are sacred seems to be a counterpoint to the idea that some foods are...

Yeah, I know. This was a few weeks back. My answer is still true.:) The forum is quiet today.

I think the difference is the open endedness that is possible in more open approaches. In an approach where they are teaching dogma, there is a closed ended approach. There is no option to reaching conclusions other than the specific dogma of their beliefs. And if they allow questioning, they...

SO CUTE! POOR THING NEEDS A COAT!!!

What is it about Sunday school teachers and questions? Why are they so ill prepared? I hear so many stories about this. I didn't attend a whole lot of Sunday school, but I do seem to remember when I tried to join Youth Group bible study my questions got odd responses or angry facial expressions.

This is intriguing. I wonder what the context is? What is @deadeye trying to say?

Depends. Sometimes people simply DO NOT believe what was hammered into them as children. Also sometimes people become believers in something because they witnessed or experienced something. Or read about it. Or heard someone else talk about it. To believe something, I think, is to be convinced...
