bad, than you're lacking something’s; "Don't do to others what you wouldn’t like done to one selves" is my motto and it is also from some others as well but I didn't get that from anywhere else than from my own thinking.

So there is no reason for those books if you are genuine a good human and willing to think.

And as for sharing somethings why not, but because it is very personal it might not be the same for others that is what i was saying.

      Thats a funny kind of spirituality .. if you have had some sort of "experience" with a Diety .. and wrote about it to others .. why does that knowledge now faint uselessness? Seems Sri has found... more

      • Hmm, a reverse Pascal's Wager? — greenman, Sat Jun 23 11:41am
        Given the multitude of gods and afterlife claims, might that not be a safer bet? :)
      • What? Who said that? — wondering, Thu Jun 21 10:00am
        No one believes "nothing". That is not the point. Your "knowledge" and experience may be quite different than that of others. What you "know" about your experiences cannot be fully explained or... more
        • no .. but there is a similarity that can be enjoyed .. — scott, Thu Jun 21 10:28am
          heck .. you can't put two of any religious similar beliefs together and find 100% .. maybe not even 50% compatibility .. tough enough putting a man and woman together in "holy matrimony" only to find ... more
          • LOL :) — wondering, Thu Jun 21 10:57am

            • well ... the truth is a lot of people actually wonder about — scott, Thu Jun 21 4:49pm

              • blind sheep — wondering, Thu Jun 21 6:33pm
                And many of the so-called sacred writings don't help to take those blinders off. Consider what the OT says about how to get rid of mold or mildew in a house. I'm sure many people took those writings... more
                • oh .. i didn'tsay they were silly nor wrong .. — scott, Fri Jun 22 9:43am
                  Just that everyone, at one time or another, needs leading in the right direction .. most people would say its a parental thing ..
                  • Do tell... — wondering, Fri Jun 22 2:28pm
                    What is the "right direction"?
                    • for me or for you? — scott, Fri Jun 22 5:36pm
                      comon .. you're not supposing you think I know whats right for you do you? Ha .. I'd then have to believe you know whats right for me .. and pretty sure that wouldn't do well with either of us.
      • You simply cannot connect with deity... — Truthteller, Thu Jun 21 9:56am
        by reading something that humans created. By not personally experiencing it, you are only getting someone else's version of it, which may or may not even have merit. The part where reading comes in... more
        • Ican understand that .. — scott, Thu Jun 21 10:16am
          So .. you are saying, however, you can connnect with a diety .. have you? just curious ... :)
          • Oh yes — Truthteller, Thu Jun 21 10:41am
            I have been a practicing Wiccan for most of my life and not only have I connected with Deity but also helped others do so as well. For me, the best place in which to do so has always been out in... more

              • No bible, no "scripture" per se... — Truthteller, Thu Jun 21 7:31pm
                only some books written by the early founders such as Gerald Gardner and even some notable practitioners such as Scott Cunningham. Most of us are compulsive readers and have pretty thorough... more

                  • I also forgot to say... — Truthteller, Sat Jun 23 1:13pm
                    that while I have indeed felt connected to the Divine, I would never presume to say that my perception of it is the "one and only way" for anyone save myself. As I said before, the way each of us... more
                    • well .. I would suppose you might have — scott, Sat Jun 23 2:33pm

                        "a wait and see walk in this world has no forward ambition." Oh, I think so, because it holds the element of surprise and also the opportunity to learn something new each and every day. That has... more

                    as the "White WHINE Board." LOL Also, don't undersell Uru...he actually DOES have a clue, perhaps just not in the way you might think he should. I think he's far more of a Gnostic Christian than he... more
    • I think the experience — wondering, Thu Jun 21 5:45am
      of "Deity" is really nothing more than the experience of love. When you love someone, you like to be around them and you don't want to hurt them. Basically, you treat them as the "golden rule"... more
    • I agree also it has to be that way so religion should be — Διός, Thu Jun 21 2:16am
      only a very personal experience! So if you write about it you can only tell your own which will be in all possibility very different from others experiences. And The bible can’t tell a thing.... more
