Well I do not care for the "Good omnipotent" That means there is either no evil, or an evil with equal power. I also do not agree that prayer brings "everything good". That means prayer is limited by our egos, what is "good" for me may not be "good" for you. Who defines the "laws of life"? If anyone defines these laws for me, then they are not my laws. I do not believe that life has laws, life has possibilities and probabilities. If I were to define a law for life, I would at that moment be limiting the life I can live because of that law. But I will admit, it sounds better than most of the churches I have experienced. :) -- Spirit World

[> Lissa is this the same as the Unitarian Universalist churches I've read about? I agree with some things but not others (which is why I set up my own "belief system" because I take things from many belief systems & integrate what makes sense out of them for me). My question is this, what if peoples "laws of life" or the "truth" are totally different (as they seem to be). Does any one human being or group of human beings have the power to say what the laws of life are? I have a problem with people telling me what to think or believe - period. So I guess that's why I am a solitary practitioner of what I believe in only because I make up my own rules and beliefs. I do think they're on the right track tho'. It's a pretty open concept considering most belief systems. I also believe that if it's comfortable for you - whatever you believe in, then that's what is right for you (as long as it harms no one else of course!). -- Lori, 16:54:21 08/24/03 Sun
