    Does Faith Impart Knowledge?

    Some interesting comments on "faith," I´d say. Atheists have faith in their beliefs. Well, there it is. Ideological atheists often say, "Faith is nonsense. I use Science." or the like. Your point places faith firmly in the realm of its psychological quality, Transpersonal or otherwise. I...

    Does Faith Impart Knowledge?

    I would push you on the issue of Paganism, since it sounds like you´re deferring to information about a thing, and perhaps some Christian dogma. I would ask if you don´t think that your experience of your relationship with God through Jesus gives you a stronger sense of pagan passion for...

    "Objective" povs

    Interesting point, that the Quran/Koran should be judged by the Gospel in Sura 5:46. Uh oh. Fortunately, the Gospel teaches not judgment, but mercy and forgiveness through repentance. And modernized Christianity goes a long way into all kinds of options for that. Of course, reining in the...

    Let's talk about prayer!

    I´m reminded of when I began to visit Christian Science. They have a system I like of Reading Rooms that make a nice chance to look over their material. I started my interfaith spiritual path back in High School, interested in Taoism and Unitarian Universalism´s interfaith spiritual support...

    If you get a chance, see my reply to the same. I think it´s above.

    What is True Belief?

    Well, I wish them well, Mormons. However, my path harmonized most with some among their membership that had put up a website once in the past called LDS Co-op. The person talked about organic agriculture and the co-op movement inside Mormonism especially. In the last year or so I looked on...

    Hey Heyo! Just another welcome from an old thorn and plant in the organic Fair Trade garden. Slightly different formatting here. Have fun and see you around the campus!

    "Objective" povs

    Hey, Heyo! I know you already! Well, "facts" are all well and good until we get to the apologetics. You try to pin that on religions, but of course Christianity is the big practitioner of that. Now, "science" apologists emerge because what they are really promoting is not Science´s true form...

    "Objective" povs

    Yes, ultimately the accusations of "bias" rest on some kind of assumptions and standards. The point someone made about pro-Islamic bias in contrast to perceived anti-Islamic bias, and pro-Christian or anti-Christian bias all needs to be evaluated according to criteria. In fact, trying to get...

    What is True Belief?

    What a wonderful account of a life that you can´t even appreciate properly because you still judge it without an adequate perspective. I was raised atheist/secular humanist by a highly educated dad who valued Therapeutic Psychology in the mix, and that kind of well-balanced thinking let me...

    Let's talk about prayer!

    Well, it´s all just sharing until you start trying to evaluate yourself in an objective manner. Since you want to shoot for maturity and spiritual brilliance, perhaps you can clarify the relationship between your prayers and Burlington, VT´s achieving 100% renewable energy and Utah´s decision...

    The Absolute Truth

    I´m going to push a little here. "Feel" is a popular way to say "believe," just to shake the tree a little. "Feel" used that way comes from its original use that means to experience feelings, and with Psychology´s insights, those feelings are the result of interpretations. Knowing that...

    How do I classify my beliefs?

    Unfortunately for you, "Free Will" advocate, Al Gore and Bill McKibben are modern Christians with high degrees of integrity. Leave it to the Metaphysical frolickers to act like Religion has no real world relevance. Sorry to disappoint you. Sounds like you need to spend the time at Politics...

    How do I classify my beliefs?

    Yes, yes, Free will to be subjugated by profiteering Businesspeople and consumeristic technophiles, it´s all very noble, this marvelous time we live in. The devastating effects of industrial pollution and degradation on biodiversity, ecosystems, and sources/sinks is delightful to forget in all...

    How do I classify my beliefs?

    That belief is called "pantheism." "Deism" is God as Newton´s "Blind clockmaker", outside the Universe and watching. "Panentheism" is more of a combination of the two, which pretty much works for me, an interfaith humanist theist.

    How do I classify my beliefs?

    I believe in a higher power. I believe at some point some thing or moment or event of extreme importance and greatness happened such that the possibility for something and nothing was possible. I don’t, however, believe in a “God”— atleast not one I’m aware of. I believe the “answers” to...

    Is western civilizations plight of the homeless a sad, glaring example of religious hypocrisy?

    Western countries are often melting pots of religion and spirituality. With all the different religions and spirituality movements, do you think that there lies hypocrisy that eats at the facade of those who work and engage in apathetic, indifferent professions? Is homelessness a sad...

    Sin of Denominationalism

    Thanks. I´m on a PC, and I don´t see an "edit" at the bottom left of my post. Is there a "preference" category I need to check or something? How odd is this?
