In reply to: chadi 's message, "and at the time of that saint, the church used to persecute him, as usual, calling him demonic or other ignorant things, as they used to do with most scientists and even people who they used to burn and later name "saints"." on 21:48:04 01/06/03 Mon

But if you read up on the New Thought Movement (which includes Religious Science, Unity and Divine Science), I think you will find a lot of common viewpoints. They don't tell you what to believe, so much as how to believe. I also like the Unitarian Universalists, because they are laidback and very inclusive, encouraging each person to come to his/her own answers about God, while recognizing the sanctity of all life, including animals.

I didn't comment about that part of your previous message since I don't know much about it. I only commented on the catholic part and I didn't assume that you were in favor of catholicism. (NT) chadi 22:09:23 01/06/03 Mon
