Of course, rationalism doesn’t begin to grasp things like death, afterlife or lack of it, etc Jen goes one step further to affirm the existence of spirits, I guess I’m trying to probe those problems too, though Christianity appeals to me more that it seems to appeal to Jen (not the Christianity of the bornagain b umhole who came in to denounce Jen in her shop).
Ah you misunderstand me scept, I don’t have a problem with Christianity, I don’t have a problem with any religion…although I do have a problem with fundamentalists from any religion or walk of life as they are generally the most closed-minded people, coming from a place of fear and judgement, that it has ever been my misfortune to meet. Aspects of Christianity do appeal to me, as do aspects of the other religions, but I find it hard to fit my personal faith and belief system into any one religious box and that includes spiritualism. As for the existence of spirits…well my thoughts are complex on that matter, I don’t think of spirits as being simply the souls that have passed on. We are all spirit, we are spiritual beings living an earthly life…hard to explain here, it’s more an “over a cup of coffee or three” kind of conversation! My beliefs are based on personal experience, something that I guess Terry would dismiss as emotive argument, but I cannot deny what I have experienced without then thinking that I, and many people that I know, must therefore be quite mad.
I agree with the rest of your post though. When I am challenged on my beliefs and asked to explain them scientifically I have to say that I can’t, but then it’s not that long ago that we couldn’t explain thunder and lightening and thought they were signs from the gods – now we know better. At some point science will explain everything that I, and others like me, experience – I know that there is already scientific evidence to support some of it – but I hope that won’t happen in my lifetime cos I kinda like the magic and wonderment of it all. :D
Ergo – what I have typed!
It is literally beyond a human being’s grasp to acknowlege that there is absolutely nothing out there – we cannot understand the concept that there is no end – physcially and mentally – hence religion of different types and scientists.
That is basically why I believe in the soul.
Basic I know!
Yes you did, sorry I obviously didn’t! :oops:
