I love how we can come together to discuss matters of faith and spirituality and leave our judgements at the door. After all faith is just a belief and beliefs are deeply personal, no matter how powerful a person's faith might be it is ultimately that person's choice as to what they will believe.
Of course culture and family ties factor into these choices to greater and lesser degrees but in the end, each of us has to make that choice for ourselves if we are truly honest about our search for truth.
I'm very impressed with our community, and I am reminded of one of Wendy's comments about how the world would benefit by following our example.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if this could develop into a discussion of all faiths and philosophies without the typical sort of problems that arise in such conversations?
There are so many of us from so many parts of this world that the potential for giving and sharing "our truths" is staggering - of course, the converse of this is also true.
Thanks for sharing, I hope many others come in and do the same.
