Part of me is quite glad this isn't the case.NetDoc said:If we all thought as God or Jesus, we would all be thinking and doing the same things. :jam:
Yes. I shudder to think what the world would be like if all Christians thought like the fundamentalists.Lightkeeper said:

Ahhhh... But what if all the Christians thought like you, NetDoc, and some of the other wonderful people here that exemplifies the beauty in the religion? *likes that version*Melody said:Yes. I shudder to think what the world would be like if all Christians thought like the fundamentalists.

I could'nt agree more! without differences of opinion, there would be no room for enlightenment nor progress. Besides, if we all agreed with each other about everything, life would be extremely dull; there might even be no real purpose for any descriptive words.Sunstone said:I generally believe difference of opinion is helpful in everything, including religion. No one person sees the whole truth of any matter. To get at a more comprehensive truth, we must listen to not only ourselves, but others.
exactly so! this is why i was initially drawn to Quakerism- lots of room for personal interpretation, and lots of diversity of opinion. it certainly does open the faith to a wider spectrum to people!jewscout said:I think it is the difference of opinions that allows for a religion to be accessable to a wider audience...in that way peoples of all walks of life can find something in that faith...
Well, I might like that, but there are a lot of people here who would disagree.FeathersinHair said:Ahhhh... But what if all the Christians thought like you, NetDoc, and some of the other wonderful people here that exemplifies the beauty in the religion? *likes that version*
