Subject: I dunno bout that...

I can see ways in which my own views have changed. Science is nice. So is logic. I think I worked it a little too hard before without understanding its weaknesses fully. I certainly didn't understand the extent to which emotions play into most people's beliefs--logic based or otherwise. Spirituality need not be tethered to a predominately Christian view either. I think on some level this was my original problem with the whole thing. Christianity becomes very narrow-minded on average once it attains what it believes to be "the answers". People supposing they have "the answers" on the pride of a conversion experience and reading a book tend to annoy me. After awhile, I dare say everyone who seeks spiritually or otherwise simply finds more and more questions. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
