It is the New Atheism aka Militant Atheists that bother me. They are as likely to try to save you from the belief in God as the Fundamentalists are by trying to get you to accept Jesus in your heart.
I was in a group of Unitarians, where these New Atheists also resided. One by one people with...
This isn't something that I can give a yes or no vote for. While Christmas is a pagan holiday, just look it up in the encyclopedia, I think Christmas can be celebrated as the birth of Christ if Christians so wish. Christmas has different meanings for different people. You can make of it as you...
This is truly beautiful Quintessence.
I see God in everything. And I also realize that people experience God differently. There is validity to all our beliefs. Some may have the gift of experiencing God personally, directly, others experience God as Consciousness, and there there are those who...

I was just going to ask about that book too, and I will check into it. thanks.
Seven, interesting, we do have a lot in common. A JW as well.
Sometimes I can just say, It doesn't matter about God and truth, what matters is that you love others and that you try to help when you can. And then...

I cannot accept the God of Christianity because of the cruelty that this...
