Thanks or TA (as they say in England)
Thanks to all the wonderful folks here at FF. I have enjoyed the conversations. At times I realize I was snippy and at other times long winded. Times are a'chang'n, and I have to say goodbye to the forum and sign off (I forgot my password long ago so I just never signed off!). What with a family, an...

Re: West no I have to disagree...
Christianity is clearly set up so that you have to live by certain rules, and following spirituallity as you see it put's you outside, in the condemed section on judgement day... Not only due you have to be baptized, but also confess your sins, recieve the holey sacrement... and accept Jesus as you...

Well, since icons are the topic, what I found interesting in the book by Sarchie on exorcisms is that he claims that when the splinter from the Cross was held up to a possessed person, they would shriek in horror. When Holy Water was sprinkled on them, they'd also freak out like the Wicked Witch in ...

I posted this somewhere else in FF, but our Unity Church is having Yolanda King, daughter of Martin Luther King, visit this summer to do readings of her recent book on spirituality and the civil rights struggle. It would also feature gospel music by Daniel Nahmod, music that has been on the Christia...

Are There Demons?
I suppose if anyone responds, it may be from a doctrinnaire viewpoint rather than from a deeper sense of what is true. Nonetheless, I am interested in peoples' views. I am reading a book by a previous guest on C2C (Sarchie - a NY police officer) who assists in exorcisms, sort of a civilian demon bus...

I guess I am a de facto Buddhist, but Unity Christian CHurch must then also be a closeted Buddhist organization. Our senior minister said one Sunday that there have always been 2 schools of thought in Christianity: 1. The literalist view of God as a Deity, as Zeus, as super human being with human tr...

Cherry, I wish to remind you that religious organizations (.org on the internet) are tax exempt. So please do not start some tirade about how religious folks should stop paying taxes, OK? I believe the concern about giving tax money to churches for social causes is because a church is by nature a sy...

Well, I hesitate to state this, since it is bound to start a class war against me here in FF, but I did the math, and our household net worth is about 1.6 million. Yes, our house and cars are paid for, and credit card debt averages about $100 per month. No other debts at all. But we are not at all a...

Racehorse, Don't be so touchy. I remember posts where you said you agreed with everything she said politically (whereas to me, she is about as right wing conservative as they come in the Bay Area). That is OK, I was just teasing you. I am disappointed that Art has lost his passion. We heard for year...
