    The Disillusionment of the Age of Materialism:

    Hi dgirl. I hope your sessions helped. Spirituality is from within. It, like what your psychologist may has taught you, is an inner strength. It is not a vain hope in the impossible, or the pleading with a stern and judgemental God. It is the realization that you are special, and that you...

    The Disillusionment of the Age of Materialism:

    Hi Mestemia: I would say you were correct. Materialism is materialsim. It is a state of mind, and like anything is benificial in moderation. Yet it is not the answer. It is not even an answer. It is just a thing, and like all just things, in the final analysis leave your life empty and...

    The Disillusionment of the Age of Materialism:

    I think that is an excellent idea dgirl. Good for you! You are so correct in your response about being bullied. And yet, with spiritual insight, it is possible to rise above even the most desperate situation.

    The Disillusionment of the Age of Materialism:

    Hi Mestemia: Busted! You caught me at last. OK, it's a lousy debate. But it is an interesting concept, no? What say you to the idea that rampant materialism is a disease, and that our materialistic society, despite its many advances, is slowly falling apart?

    The Disillusionment of the Age of Materialism:

    Hi The Knight! You are quite correct in your response that the traditional concept of the "kingdom of heaven" has largly failed in today's world. However my concept of the kingdom of heaven is that the kingdom of heaven is loving each and every one in the world as a fellow child of a universal...

    The Disillusionment of the Age of Materialism:

    Hi dgirl and Inglesva: Thank you for responding. You are both correct in your responses, I think. Yes this is a short sighted and judgmental viewpoint. And yes, wanting a new car has very little to do with mass murder. What I am trying to say here (apparently very badly), is that this...

    The Disillusionment of the Age of Materialism:

    Another shooting. Another senseless tragedy. Another personality self-destructs into eternal nothingness, going out in a blaze of glory, leaving their mark - a new low for humanity. What level of abject despair could drive an individual to commit such a horrific act? At what dead end of...

    The Christian Attitude Toward Homosexuals and Homosexuality

    I believe that if Jesus were to again walk the earth in physical form, there would be many people who would be confused and disappointed in his responses to questions like these. Jesus lived his life to represent the Father to humankind. It was his sole mission on earth. He was the most...

    Is faith pre-wired, learned, or something else?

    Faith in God is definately pre-wired into mankind. After all, at the moment of our first moral descision, an actual fragment of God comes to us, and resides throughout our lives, hovering gently just above our material consciousness. As man is an evolved child of the universe, and as the...

    If jesus is not god -how will it influence the essence of christianity

    Jesus was both the Son of Man and the Son of God. In the life of Jesus there appeared man reaching up and finding God to his perfect satisfaction. Yet in the same life there appeared God, reaching down and finding man, again to his perfect satisfaction. Jesus never claimed he was god. He said...

    Can You Believe in God?

    Copernicus: How do you know that I can not believe in a God which is greater than my understanding?

    Can You Believe in God?

    I believe in a God, which is beyond human comprehension. The creature is, by its very limited nature, unable to fully comprehend the creator. One of the ways we are limited in our understanding of God is that we are creatures of time and space. I believe that God exists beyond the realm of...

    Religion and homosexuality

    Hi all: I do not believe that there is anything "irreligious" about homosexuality. Homosexuality is a choice of this initial and physical existence, and is in no way related to survival after death. The human race are animals evolved from other animals. Evolution is a slow but sure process...
