I still can't in any way buy the creator G!d. That old white man in the sky is stuck in my brain and pokes out everytime I hear the word. Butch is the closest I can get and even his use of the word makes the hairs stand up and stomach rumble.

This agnostic would have issues filling these sections...but I think the process fun.

Heck...that one would be on all my posts

Looks like twice a year I won't ignore them...but for the other 363 days I will follow the groups consensus...

As I see it, if anyone finds anything that improves any part of their attitude or life or motivates them to be a better more empathetic and caring person...from someone they met on the road I wouldn't kill them.

Thomas said: In short, all true religions are equal, and no single religion is superior to or more equal than any other. @TheLightWithin ....I've always liked this message Me too....I think most agnostics and atheists would agree with this statement. I think all religions have value...how much...

My belief is...if it happened he was doodling...taking a time out to go within, to cogitate, commune with the father, his higher self....at a minimum it is a parable for not immediately following the crowd, take ten deep breaths, respond rather than react...

I have been to a few of these types of events over the decades...put on by various religions, bahai, seventh day Adventists, Moonies, etc. It often seems to me they are actually advertisements for their belief, trying to increase their numbers by gathering from those on the fence or...

True, but then it ain't science.

As an outsider definitely not Catholic, and my my own admission a Christian without the creator G!d as a physical or ethereal entity... What I have learned of know of the Jesuits, they are the closest I get...the most radical among them is what resonates with me. Much of what Francis said was...
