Re: Orthodox Priest on Catholicism and Protestantism
If I grasp the history, even a little bit, there could not have ever been a "true" Christian Faith, as a pristine truth, because it basically adapted its own culture it was surrounded by and changed a few names and institutions such as baptism, and put Jesus where the ancient Sun worship was. It ad...

Re: Orthodox Priest on Catholicism and Protestantism
"drifted from the true faith" I do not mean it to sound dismissive but I have some reservations about the idea that the true faith was ever completely established. Christianity from the first century has suffered from evil relationships to outsiders. The incomplete understanding of a valid role of ...

Re: Of Sparrows, Automobile Head On Collisions, and Ourselves
Philo, thanks for sharing the experience of a healing role for sparrows and squirrels. The rest of that story is not so nice but is a part of the real world we all realize.

Re: Revisioning the Sacred, the Problem of Mormonism
I read your post Philo. Enlightenment. The Divine within. Leaving organized/corporate religion. Doesn’t it all come down to: 1.“self” and determining what is sin and what is not sin? 2.Creating a rationale for one’s actions within a self created framework rather than one created outside of the self...

Re: SeN: "Hope for immortality" is a Useful Salve for Childhood "rape and strangulation."
To your question I might point out that theists of all sorts believe God acts through natural laws though they generally believe God is the source of those laws and determined what form and potential they have.

Re: SeN: "Hope for immortality" is a Useful Salve for Childhood "rape and strangulation."
Why would the inclusion of basic design flaws naturally be a part of a process carried out by an omnipotent and loving god? I suppose one would have to ask the question pertaining to whether one believes in a magical sky god or a God who works through natural means/laws to carry out creation projec...

Re: Fairmormon's T. I. T. S.
I was a bit doubtful that I would be interested in this but thought perhaps people are being overly harsh in the criticism The sources are young and enthusiastic, is that all bad?

Re: Please Join the Church and Me in the Fight Against Malaria!
Enter and exit the story of DDT. Exactly. Analytics, I believe Yahoo was pointing to the question of how are you going to get rid of mosquitoes. I remember the ddt problem. From years back I remember a plan to sterilize large amounts of mosquitoes and release them to inhibit reproduction of wild mo...
