Thanks for your prayers everyone! Bubbadave, what you speaking about I believe is one of the hardest sins--Pride--for us to fight against it's tempatation. For me it seems when I get too pridefull I'm soon faced with a lesson of Humility. But I'm not ready to accept your thought about others here. I have great hope that you're wrong. Giving up on God's children to me would be like giving up on God,Himself. I feel the more knowledge we can give others (without being too pushy) and with prayer we can/will help those and strengthen our hope.

i wish you a speedy recovery Maduck. and i totally agree with wcc, i wish we could coexist in this old world. but alas, i am not sure it is possible because everyone has to have someone to 'look down on' as it were. at least that is my way of thinking. i hope i am wrong. but, i it doesnt seem to be that way.

respectfully
dave

Maduck sorry to hear about your fall and wish you well. This might be the time to learn to use the "wrong hand." Seriously get well soon.
I have studied and talked with people of diverse faiths. What stricks me in our conversations is how much disinformation there is about other faiths. Once we begin to look at the history of the various faiths we begin to see the common thing we or they all share

Could you all pray for me, I fell earler today and broke my right arm! It's the radius (smaller long bone) down near the wrist. The most frustrating thing is I'm right handed!!! :(

Absolutely, Maducks! Spirituality is so individual! I mean, we dress different, look different, act different, so why should we all agree on religion? I have studied a lot of other believes, from Buddhism to Hinduism to Christianity to Shamanism; I love them all! All have a lot to teach. I also find that some people have a need for structure, more than others and their faith reflects their personality; which is a good thing that spirituality suits the personality. I make sure that, the people that I associate with are open people as I dont want to have to hide who I am and because of that, I do live peacefully with everyone!

Lynn and others, I hope I didn't give off the believe that my way is the only way. A couple of years ago I was corresponding with a gentleman of the Islamic faith and I learned alittle about it. I'm inerested in learning more and about other faiths also. I believe the more we know about each others faith the more we can live peacefully with each other! Yes?

I believe all faiths have basically the same needs and outcome the only difference I have ever found is the need to have to prove one is better then the other and I have often thought what a waste of time on ones part to vocus on that...we all are brothers and sisters and need to vocus on tolerence and love of one another after all isnt that a main purpose of being? To the way my Momma taught us "It isnt the way our paths take us on our journey thru life its the ultimate destiny where we end up as we learn from one another we grow and chose with our free-wills choice to accept or not, and continue without judgment of anothers choice...AHO lynn53
