Repeatable triple blind results? I've seen some studies and folks that have done the rigor and documentation to prove part of the thesis (on prayer or ....) but often those that do that or purport to are so far away from Orthodox thinking of most denominations and sects the religoinists often...

True, but then it ain't science.

As an outsider definitely not Catholic, and my my own admission a Christian without the creator G!d as a physical or ethereal entity... What I have learned of know of the Jesuits, they are the closest I get...the most radical among them is what resonates with me. Much of what Francis said was...

Surprised who? My view? (Which of course could be entirely wrong) you have trad shoes, and walk a trad path, with a trad knowldege you lean on, but have a reformed empathetic understanding heart from exposure to the world with family and friends. Without both, you wouldn't be you. This is me...

I guess it is likely that your bias against woke folk (you know, folks that respond like Jesus of the bible) may have caused you.to miss a few words in the statement "Possibility of Cultural Appropriation: Picking and choosing practices from various cultures without understanding their context...

🕊 Some reports indicate that Pope Francis died leaving only 100 dollars. Yes, a hundred dollars. Less than 90 euros. No house. No bank account. No investment in his name. And yet, he was the head of the Catholic Church. A post that could have earned him about €340,000 a year. But he refused...

Yes, my c&p from my phone eliminated bith spaces and bold, i put line spaces back in but not bolds And yes, ai left that out

We got controversy in the conclave, there will be some movies made of this one. The parallels with US (p-word we shall not mame) will be debated

This is my issue with no evidence. We could not hear space till we got the skills to develop the tools to listen. Same with bacteria before the microscope. Or the molecule, and atom. Just cause your 6 senses or mine can't grok it doesn't mean it isn't there. For that reason we leave the...

What? Not, arrest try and convict? Vengeance not justice? Two eyes for an eye?

Yes the Protestants protested against status quo. Yes their meeting rooms (that I have attended) unnadorned and no pulpit, the claim (as I hear it) is you sit in silence/prayer/meditation until the spirit guides you to say something. In practice I have always felt they came in with an agenda...

I see what you did there, just didn't do what you heard there.

Artificial could be argued, intelligent would be tougher.

Oops I did it again! Here's a comparison of the benefits of adhering to one religion versus interspersing interfaith beliefs and practices: Benefits of dhering to one religion? Stronger Community & Social Support: Provides a sense of belonging and connection within a community sharing similar...

Oh exactly....but wait....is that a criteria? Those that practice spirituality but not religion opinions count don't they? I also found some of the "differences" specious or meh, they would have not been all of what I would have said, but it did not feel appropriate to edit ai when I said it...

Let's say I accept reincarnation. I got questions. Is it only humans? Or do all bugs and amoeba too? If so can we reincarnate as different species? How many times? Are there people who have been returning since first life (3.7 billion years), or only since homosapien (300 thousand years)...

Isn't that exactly what Luther and Calvin were all about?

Never heard of that before and have attended Presbyterian churches. Reading more it is the reformed and confessional branches that are most strict...and it is mainly in the sanctuary, not to be used as a focus of prayer or worship. (Second commandment thing) My liberal bent was first a high...
