    One God, Many Paths

    Dang it, that weekend is Mothers Day and I will be taking mom out to a ball game! MLK Jr Library Washington DC Is it possible that all the world’s great spiritual and religious traditions originated from the same source, even if we refer to or understand that Source in many different ways...

    An unfair fight - Atheists vs Believers

    My reason is single. Atheists have nothing to lose.... and agnostics in this case are worse in that respect. Prove a believer wrong, pull the rug out from under them and you have taken their G!d, their community, maybe initiated ostracization from their family. Prove an atheist wrong and...

    Death is an illusion

    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...

    Roman Catholicism – Whither Goest Thou?

    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...

    Roman Catholicism – Whither Goest Thou?

    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...

    Oh my, ai

    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...

    Denominational differences in the depiction of Jesus

    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...
