[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do not have to wrap your head around it.  You just have to have faith.  That is the mystery.  Don't be a "Doubting Thomas," who must see to believe.  [/quote]

This advice only applies to  those who believe they they will burn in hell if they don't accept Jesus as their savior.[/quote]

Right. Some of us don't want to turn our brains off and just blindly accept this stuff. As George Harrison said: if there's a god I want to experience him and see him. Otherwise why blindly accept something?

I personally want to reason through all of this and come to a conclusion that makes sense to me. For me, that means rejecting basically all doctrines because I've experienced zero proof that they're real. The few things that make sense to me from religions come from Buddhism and Hinduism (meditation, yoga, and the idea that getting too attached to material possessions is a recipe for suffering, so you should concentrate on more lasting things like love, compassion, and working towards a peaceful world).

I've had a lot of experiences that strongly suggest to me that people have souls that don't disappear when we die, so I personally take on board the idea of an everlasting soul (and perhaps reincarnation, although I'm less sure of that one).

I could really take or leave the rest of it.  [/quote]
