PeKaatje: As for religion, I just listen to Slayer.
I wasn't thinking of anything as deep or dark as that, Pek. I had more in mind people who think they can connect with trees and that sort of thing.------ This thread is Archived ------

We all have our own reality, Ches. While mine might not make perfect sense, I still wouldn't want it replacing with something weirder.------ This thread is Archived ------

There is a fine line betwen eople saying what they believe in, and them pushing it onto others. Many don't see that line.I am quite agnostic and open at the same time.

Some people don't actually push it but it makes me feel in an uncomfortable position when someone I don't want to offend (yes, that does happen occasionally) starts going on about reincarnation or something and I don't want to be dismissive of it but neither want it thought that I go along with it.------ This thread is Archived ------

A true spiritual connection isn't a belief, it's a journey. You can't pass a journey on to someone, it's personal.------ This thread is Archived ------

Just politely (I know that's difficult 
) but firmly say that you respect their viewpoint but it is not yours.------ This thread is Archived ------

No but they can do your head in by insisting on giving you the directions. Nevertheless, bod, I respect your views even though I don't share them.------ This thread is Archived ------

Molly, once a door has opened and you've looked through it, you can't pretend you haven't seen what's on the other side.There are times, albeit rarely, when I wish I could go back to my former state of ignorance, but it's just not possible.

I guess you'll just have to learn to live with your current state of ignorance, then. There are times, albeit rarely, when I wish I could go back to my former state of ignorance, but it's just not possible.

So, when your grandchildren ask about Santa, you tell them he doesn't exist?------ This thread is Archived ------

No point in giving someone directions to London , if they don't want to go there.It's the same with spirituality, when the times right for a person, they will look for themselves and follow the signs.

Yes, there's a long way to go. Sixty years of conditioning takes a lot of work to unravel.------ This thread is Archived ------
