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.

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. . .

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 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…
I also believe that our spiritual selves are made up of a form of matter much finer that what we can perceive with our physical bodies, but matter none the less, which cannot be destroyed - maybe of a material like "dark" matter.

When we fully understand teleportation, if it is really possible, maybe we will know how beings from another world manage to visit this one, as some claim to have been visited? The realm of possibilities expand as we learn.
Then, if there is a god of reality, of whatever form reality is, that god would have to reveal himself to us, before we can know of him. Otherwise, why bother trying to define or redefine God? What purpose does defining for redefining God serve? Let…
