Yes. Beliefs are written into the law of the land: do not steal, do not kill, do not bear false witness... But, what has happened is there are many people who start a church that were never sent to start a church and they come up with their own interpretations of The Scriptures... - PaperTrails...
It's hard to take this comment too seriously. How do you "teach" what a "real" ANYTHING is that hasn't been proven to even exist in over 2000 years? Let alone claim to know what they definitely are not. This sounds more like brainwashing and a coherced belief system.... - kmitcham...
Hello, Just a quick question. Should religion, science, and education be integrated? Folks grab their pearls over literature that fails to match their definitions of right and wrong. The church used to control science and education and burned thought-leaders at the stake.... thanks for this; I've never read Christie or Carr, but just watched the third Knives Out with my wife and also really enjoyed it.

To fall in love with suffering? 🏚️ I’m still grateful—I’m grateful that I get to be woken up at 3:45am by my daughter’s fever. And for the “fuck, the milk is at the other house, next to the floorless kitchen cordoned off for mold-remediation.” But also, “fuck!... yes! Devotion is an attitude of unconditional love from the devotee. The one we devote to is simply a vessel, a canvas for the art of praising the divine in form.... I don't know if you're doing this but i want to make sure we don't conflate spiritual bypassing with a stage of development. I think we can spiritually bypass at any stage of development—for example you can imagine a fundamentalist Buddhist 'meditating away' anger rather than...
