I would like to remind everyone....that "Avi's" thread is a truly "Open Source" thread in the forum, open for all "Interfaith Dialogue".

The intent of "Avi's", is ultimately to lead to an "Interfaith DIR", which will be open to complete freedom of speech...

Happy Holidays to all !!!

Lol ... and to me Naturalist means Nudist :p
Quoting scripture (yes, I too do that):
noun: naturalist; plural noun: naturalists
  1. an expert in or student of natural history.
    synonyms: natural historian, life scientist, wildlife expert;More
    biologist, botanist, zoologist, ornithologist, entomologist, ecologist
    "the wildlife preserve employs a team of naturalists from around the world"
  2. a person who practices naturalism in art or literature.
    • a person who adopts philosophical naturalism

Ok..Eliab....it appears you are not a traditional OJ or CJ like our "friends" in the DIR....which means you might be happier out here in "Avi's" thread...with us renegades......and you are certainly welcome to join us.....:D

Surprisingly enough i am Orthodox, and no shame in my body, despite being short of stature, very skinny, somewhat effete and a nerdy geek ....

Oh and like you an Engineer , In my case a Biomedical Engineer (I maintain Life Support
equipment at the local hospital ) ......

Very cool, Eliab.....I look forward to learning more about your religious and philosophical thoughts !!!

We have several OJ's in the DIR...unfortunately I now have them all on ignore...our final agreement was to agree to disagree..:D

There are a couple of cool rabbis here...I enjoy debating them...:D..I'm a member of the on-line reform congregation (small "r")....:D...we've got Rabbio...he's a cool dude...!!!

We have a couple of CJ's in the DIR...but they have been playing hooky of late...

And Metis and I are the reform congregation....Metis is fantastic...he's an ex-hippy anthropologist...:)

I stay out of the DIR...they don't care for "my kind" over there (reform, Jewish atheist, Jewish agnostic, Reconstructionist, Renewal, Jewish Humanist)...:D...but after all...that's why we have "Avi's"....:D

@Avi1001

How would you define a spiritual journey yet alone spiritualism?
Fine question, Sha...some journeys are spiritual journeys of the individual....on these journeys you may have to stand alone...or with a small group....it does not matter...in the end....if it is from the spirit of the heart.....you will succeed...my friend....Merry Christmas to you...and the other Commie kitties, as well...:D

Grin, My spiritual journey was somewhat extreme ...
an nDE (near Death Experience) after a Car accident (massive head trauma)
6 holes in dura, basal occlusion, frontal lobe penetrated by steering column
and right zygoma exploded out ... lost 40 % brain ... Pronounced Brain Dead
body kept alive for transplant donations ...

Anyhow, went up the tunnel to the afterlife, Gatekeeper helped with life review,
was surprised all up there looked no more than 30 ,,,

Getting sent back the irritant :p
