I was involved for a while last year in Second Life (SL). I did like the interactive aspect and constructing things, but realised I was getting addicted and stopped. Maybe I'll go back soon and check out your place, Dauer, it sounds like one of the more interesting places.

I found this thread way back in the archives while I was looking at connections between The Buddha and Jesus. I wonder if some of their original message is altered by the labelling, the books, the sects, the divisions of the religions over the years. Why say Buddhism or Christian at all ? When...

It can be difficult to keep the mirror clean and the lightbulbs can lose power sometimes.:) (Actually the photo for my avatar is of Skellig Michael, an Island off the west of Ireland. I went out there last summer. It is the site of a monastery dating from the 6th century) Sacred Sites: Skellig...

I smite litterbugs, and bad government.

The "Thumping" mentality is exactly the reason why I would never have anything to do with a certain type of Christianity as it is being portrayed today. I meant the "Bible" that was written after him, about him and long after him. From what I understand, he didn't actually write it and say read...

bumping thread.

Maybe I'm insulting people here, but Instead of there being a seperate Liberal Christian forum there should be a forum called Traditional Christianity (or something like that). There are also perhaps differences in cultural background. To state the obvious. We speak a common language on this...

Maybe he said it wasn't good because he had created the atmosphere and oxygen - then he knew that there was no going back - he had set it all up for life and then eventually "Us" and he knew where that would lead ....and that wasn't good :eek:

How about a Heretics section ?

Hi all..its my turn. Dauer, Your dietery and meditation suggestions I can concur with. I believe you started a thread a while ago around this topic of mental health. As this is getting confessional....... - I have had my share of issues - bipolar . I think it was a very good thing to face it...

Re: ~*-,._.,-*~'`^`'~*-,._.,-*~'`^`'~*-,._.,-*~'`^`'~*-,._.,-*~'`^`'~*-,._.,-*~ ...but were you.? Yes I agree, much of the Atheism I come across is very angry and anti-Christian - mainly from online forums. Richard Dawkins and Hitchins (?) have been doing the circuit. I believe it is a...

me too:(.......I do not want to being missionaried to , or whatever way that may be interpreted

I think Christ might have a sense of humour

Faithfulservant, Excuse me for not knowing the history of some of the previous posters, ie Silas, and maybe I am interpreting your post out of context: but who here are you addressing your mission to? I am sorry if this is taken out of context, but does this refer to some previous post or...
