Out of body religious experiences

Yeah, but don't you think there's a value in having that opinion challenged and tested? I for one have become all the wiser from this thread because of it.

Hi Tom

I agree with you that the ability to have a civilized debate is a wonderful thing. It is how humanity will survive. To be able to have a conversation about things controversial is essential to understanding the world at large.

But you must understand that on some subjects, there will be no resolution only personal opinion. Religion and or spirituality is one of those topics. People believe what they believe. There is no right or wrong answer, there is no one way, there is however……… only personal opinion.

Religion, spirituality, or lack there of, is a matter of what people believe. Right or wrong, evidence or lack there of, means nothing…………it is about personal beliefs.

Think about this……religion/spirituality are like emotions. There is no hard evidence of emotions, but they exist for each of us as individuals. I feel what I feel, but cannot feel what someone else is experiencing……….LOL

In debates such as this, where the conversation continues in a circle……the answer to the conundrum is…………to agree to disagree.

For what it's worth, Tom, I am a hard science girl myself and always have been. I want the answers in my hand with scientific evidence to back it all up.

That being said…….I still wrote Clusters and believe in it……….LOL……….

In debates such as this you must be able to state your own opinion and also be willing to except that there may be another opinion/explanation other that your own. You must be wiling to share you values and respect those of others.



Bravo to all those that have contributed in this thread….that is exactly what everyone is doing.
