Re: Mind's Eye religion

My aunts name is Polly (Pauline) and she was an army nurse.  Still alive and 96 right now.
I think the problem your teacher experienced is unrealistic expectations in religion and belief.. This is a problem created by the teacher of religion (all of them).
I may look at a lot of ideas and have seen a lot of things over the years.. Some very strange. To me God as I understand him (non-gender) I love the interaction with my understanding of God.  ..it has been a amazing experience.

It would fascinate me to meet children who don't think about God, i think they have the most capacity for faith. Of course it might be explained psychologically... But still, it just amazes me. I had a teacher who became an atheist after his dad got cancer... Lots of people people with belief sort of feel cheated when bad things happen... Would you say they never had belief in the first place..    Its election day in my city today. Random information.

To my knowledge I have never attacked you. When you jump in screaming someone is off topic when they in fact are not off topic.. You have a problem .  a serious problem..
I think you need to ask poli science kidhis gender.. If my memory serves me right he is the son of an army officer.

Now my dirty little fingers? To just what are you referring to? I am not the one who lists adult only sites in group email.

Are you dictating what group emails I answer. Or respond to..  When I offered to answer any private emails privately is actually open to any member and I do respond privately for the simple those responses are none of the groups business because they are private.

I can take what you said as a direct threat. You really need to pull in your fangs..

Leave your dirty old fingers nicely here in public, Allan! And let Pol find whatever she wants to find! Hear me?

You still owe me a very huge apology for all your groundless attacking me!!! Concentrate on that to keep you busy and don't hope for your buddies being "distracted" as usual!

Hoi poli or should I call you kid. Eternal that is one difficult question maybe the definition is the best. Eternal Without beginning or end of existence; always existing. Definitions are a good place to start. Spirituality is a very difficult at best  so common definitions are very important.

Religious people for the most part are very good. Most trying to live sincere lives. And in accordance to traditional beliefs.  Some of which can be very interesting. From what I have seen of Hindu festivals they could be very interesting and fun. All I can really say is enjoy  .. I don't think taking part requires belief. If you are looking to find spirituality a good starting point is your native beliefs. There you strive to understand.  You actually have a lot of support.
The faith of a child is a beautiful sight to behold. Being religious as a child does not exclude theism. A sound belief in a personal God is what theism is about.

My Dad was raised without beliefs and became R Catholic after he met my mother. His religious beliefs lasted and guided his entire lifetime. He was 94 at the time of his transition. His spiruality was really amazing. I was proud of my Dad and his beliefs. In hard times they were a guiding light.. I always knew he believed and that is a lot.

Don't count out rituals. They can help you focus and get you out of the self that traps you. You will find over time therevae some amazing similarities among beliefs.
If you want to talk privately my email address is open.

What do you think is meant by eternal? For us humans.. Thats another difficult topic... Are some people just religious? I mean is it their nature... See children are very religious..ive seen that everywhere... I was a religious kid... But then.. I just grew out of it... I know my sister was religious.. I cant say if she still is... Who has stayed religious into their adulthood.. I would like to know... My mother is one.. But im not counting her... My father has become religious... Rituals and all.. Now that he is feeling his age or something.. Thats what i think at least.. I never thought he would turn out to be religious.... What is it really?.... That explains it... Or.. Don't you think it's difficult to raise a child without the idea of God? Is it? I don't know...

Nope - the cat is too smart for both us us.  I suppose being good at languages encourages the privileged to dismiss simple speech as requiring 'sophisticated' further interpretation from the half-learning of pop-psychology and stereotyping fantasies - this latter being a simple construct to provide comfort to the goodie-wannabe while she is doing it, as we all do.  Kierkegaard was apt to tell Christians they could not be such because of what they do.  The elitist always likes the secrecy of her own decision-making and adherence to the proper procedures in place, against the outcomes of rendering the victims supposedly under help invisible until some loud whistle breaks loose and we see a smug set of bureaucrats singing from the same politically correct page and being paid very well for their dull voices to hide the screams of the victims and write new legislation on the lessons learned about loud whistles.  

Nah! We could do with more direct talking as Pol says.  The violence has been done long before we start talking.  This is a very old trick of control.  Ungrateful as you would be, I'd rescue you from the cannibals, though I'd be open to argument I'd got this the wrong way round on the grounds of stereotyping.

Religion is obviously (to some of us) about what we don't know.  It does not though, have to rest on what we know are fables and excuses to cover up false history, lousy priests - or those in other institutions who let the innocent down.  We have very serious problems we can't discuss in the open for fear of offending against the cry of 'racist' and people who can absolve themselves in smiling sisterhoods of prayer and language control.
