The Open Source Religion & Spirituality Project and Religion 2.0
World Oringins post 3
How the world came to be is a very controversial topic and has been for a long time. There are many different views out there, and it is important to be able to talk about these different views and topics with an open mind. Open Source gives you a way to be able to do this, and to be able to hear what everyone thinks in a respectful atmosphere. Everyone can put thier own thoughts and ideas out there and we can all learn from everybody. With the world becoming more networked, there is so much information available to learn about ideas that we might not know a lot about. I think it is important, because it is so available to us, to take advantage of all this information to broaden our mind and to shape our beliefs and thoughts. If we are ignorant about other views out there, how can we be sure about our ideas?

Comment by Molly Goodman on November 8, 2009 at 7:57pm - I think Open Source religion is just another way to get thoughts and ideas out there. It is a way to increase religious discussion about ALL aspects of the world and relgion. I think it is a great idea because there are no rules or guidelines...just exploration.

Comment by Chandra Fudge on November 9, 2009 at 12:25am - I know. There are so many way out there to voice your opinions, but are they all as truly respectful and cumulative as Open Source religion? I wish I had discovered this site before taking this class, and I also wish I had more time to involve myself in it, more than just my class assignments.

On a lighter note, do all born again christians have two belly-buttons?
The origins of the said 'sighs' are relative.
Roman,
You have call people who disagree with you fools, delusional, and worse; yet would teach me how to "get along"?
and again ~sigh~
Using the sword of truth like a blunt hammer only isolates.
Jeff, I must ask myself why, as you say, people are worshiping science. Can they not find frameworks, mystery, hope and challenge in spirituality?
Fortunately, it is not necessary that everyone descend into extreme addiction (vice) to develop profo…
Yes David Bee, all potential sources of knowledge should be given an honest look however there are so many sources that it would take years to get through them all. I am suggesting that each one of us here is a potential sources of knowledge. For ex…
Bee, enjoy your book.
Given these "problems" with the Bible, if the God of the Bible is the God of reality (as I believe He is), I do not wonder at all about His reasons for bringing forth the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon is the anchor of my faith in Jesus Christ.…

Roman, Did Moses lifting serpant for Israel to look upon and be spared the death they were facing have anything to do with the lifting up of Chri…
Jeff. anyone would be bewildered if others insisted they turn away from a profound personal experience. I hope you do not feel I or others are challenging the validity of your experience or belief. We did not come to RG to change each other - did we…
The bible is a great book. Though not perfect by any means in its many years of attempted transliterations involving additions and edits, and as its historical development with its endless diversity of interpretations bares out, even to this day as…
Goodmorning Kernal,
Over a year ago there was a very strident debate between a mormon and I. It was ugly, and I learned from it. I mispoke earlier when I refered to this thread, I meant this topic. You'll note I haven't participated much. I don't w…
Thanks Jeff,
Glad to hear from you and thanks for sharing as you have. I'm not sure I understand your reference (9 hours ago) about bringing this thread back to life? Nevertheless. . .
As for me being full of myself, I can see how you would say tha…
Thanks Katinka. The book referral is appreciated.
Kernal, you're a might full of yourself there bud. I didn't bring this thread back to life, and have resisted jumping into another me vs. mormon debate. Just not worth the trouble. I guess I've grown up a little in my time on RG, even at 49 years.…
Here is how I see it.
We are spiritual beings having a mortal experience. Currently our physical body and our spirit body are inseparably connected until our physical body dies, when we will leave our physical body.
I am unable to physically detect…
I have been taught, and believe, that it is only with an open mind can one find the truth. I do not believe that there will be any conflict between scientific fact/truth and religious fact/truth, when all is known. Theories are not fact, but are par…
