:surf: im doing more research into early Church history and the NT canonization process. What grates me is the ignorance out there on the subject...like how the gospels were chosen and why others didnt make the cut, etc. Too many prefer blind faith over intelligent research choosing emotional comfort over truth. If you'd like to join in that discussion....feel free here. Note the last comment by journey. Typical example.
thanks.....I do ride a somewhat agnostic-skeptical edge at times....but still hold romantically as a more liberal eclectic mystic traveller while I have intimate love and association with the Christian religious tradition, I recognize its pagan universal memes and archetypes, and have no problem from a mythicist perspective.
- nice jabs,....sometimes I get close to saying something like "shove it", but usually edit my posts. I have my moments though
u also might recall my old thread on NDE's and the afterlife? I'm a spiritualist at heart but keep some healthy skepticism and even agnostic perspectives on some points. All is energy and consciousness. Hope ur having fun with the muses I enjoy some hemisync meditation music while reading/writing from the Monroe institute. Let the music play
- while I'm usually engaged in more serious studies and respectful dialogue,....if one is make it a merry-go-round might as well 'innovate' and creatively respond, up to a certain exhaustion point. The tricky part is deciding when to stop it, instead of being carried away into same 'carnival-antics' as the other person. Either way,...you "enter the ring" so to speak.
