|    I dream of a new religion    |

      From: waltzgreen@fuse.net              I wish to formulate a new spiritual/religious line of thought. A new       religion if you will. One that does something different with power. One       that 'proves' the need for many different answers. One that is       systematically designed to produce mental health and fulfilled lives for       people. (Including sexual fulfillment/transcendence if a way can be found       to work it in.)              One that is not based on a single source of all-power and all knowledge.       For any religion based on a single source of all-power and all knowledge is       too easily twisted to suit people who enjoy power over. Someway to make it       as hard as possible to twist it into power over.              One that needs there to be many different answers. For it seems "One True       Ways" always lead to Spiritual malpractice. Where one forces pre-determined       cures on people who really need to find their own way.              Eventually to gain enough support for such a religion to establish and       maintain a seminary. A seminary to find weaknesses in current belief       systems, shows how those weaknesses are producing unhealthy results and       inspire people to formulate better ones. To open the door to deliberate       systematic formulation of belief systems that promote healthier results for       a global community while still satisfying the human need for mysticism. To       start a movement of re-iterative examination and creation of       spiritual/moral/ethical systems until we get as many as we need to change       the world.              Are there like minded people out there?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
