I just offer my contributions to the things that are discussed here.

yes because lets face it, ragged clowns who chase shadows are in short supply.

Its neither clinched nor important, its simply a candid fact, you are not very amiable, you have just admitted it and well quite frankly not very funny either and I really wonder what it is you have to offer here?

I offer my thoughts on things. Isn't that all that anyone offers here?

so essentially you are offering yourself? your thoughts? based on an anthropological and psychological approach to spirituality? while scourging windbags in the process? Did you originate these anthropological and psychological perspectives yourself, or were they off the shelf?

I said religionist dogma only makes sense to me nowadays in terms of anthropology and psychology.

That's what everyone does here, you said so yourself.

but you did not originate these ideas yourself and merely assimilated them, 'off the shelf', to use your turn of phrase?

If you think my ideas are "off the shelf" then it's your prerogative to say so. People here will be the judge of whether I offer a personal perspective or whether I have adopted ~ and propagate ~ the ideas of others.

did you originate the ideas or did you not? appealing to popular opinion is not a valid argument.

I can't get a word in edgewise around here! 🙁

I asked a couple of easy questions on the previous page! Oh well! I guess it doesn't really matter anyway. 😞

I suppose. I am educated. I am thoughtful. I am analytical. I am relatively well travelled. I have enjoyed meeting people all over the world and comparing things and contrasting them. I am inquisitive. I am interested in ideas. I like reading and hearing things I disagree with. That is how I have arrived at my opinions and viewpoints on things ~ which continue to evolve and change. I suppose this is how I have developed my ideas. I don't think an "off the shelf package" would be the way to describe my ideas.

This comes from this morning's Richard Rohr (Centre for Action and Contemplation) blog, and I feel it could be relevant.
[quote]True faith is one of the most holistic and free actions a human can perform. It leads to such broad and deep perception that most traditions would just call it “light.”

Remember, Jesus said ...[text shortened]... mouth, but I think the first sentence of that last paragraph probably describes his experience.
Nice post. Got up this morning and saw about 6 pages of other ranting and raving, so maybe gems like this will get lost in the noise. I will start another thread later today on this. Thanks.
