Thanks Dopp, I'll add that to the must read list. BTW did anyone ever tell you that you look just like Joseph Campbell?

That was the first time. I was told recently that I looked like David Koresh (or was it Don Johnson?).

Do you feel you need to be someplace? Or are you okay with being in the spaces between places?

 

[Scuba Pete]

Fortunately, most of those who claim to be Christian won't claim me as their "brother".

im ok with it, it isnt as comfortable though, my wife and i discussed how different everything feels now that all these changes have happened in our beliefs last night.

its scary when you learned fire and brimstone all your life too...

i definatly can relate

 

[sojourner]

well, the direction i am going is just learning more, as much as i can ,and debunking non-thinking religion. religion without thought isnt faith, it is ignorance---

im almost going in a gnostic direction, but i dont want that label either

in the parable of the mustard seed, faith was the smallest part---the seed must be watered with Facts, and in the soil of Wisdom or it will not grow!

Have you tried Pelagian? Celtic Spirituality is very friendly, asserting that we were made good, and that God is all around us in the good things we can see and touch.

 

[RevOxley_501]

no i havent...will look into it though

thankx

 

[Scuba Pete]

i definatly can relate

Which is why I refuse to predicate MY beliefs on the actions of others. Rarely do they come close to what they profess to believe... me included!

 

[w00t]

Rev Ox good luck wherever your spiritual pathway takes you!

 

[Smoke]
