Default Re: The connection between a spiritual experience and a certain religi

[ QUOTE ]

I am open minded, though I cannot deny what I have seen or reduce it's value or importance.

[/ QUOTE ]

I just had another thought about this sentence. You have to realize that it's value to you and importance to you. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that.

How can we ever decide on objective value and importance? Should it be decided democratically or what? There is so much disagreement on religious matters that it seems like all we can do is realize that we're probably all wrong about a lot of things.

It was badly worded, though I believe all experiences have educational value.

All I'm saying is that I cannot disregard parts of what I have witnessed, everything I believe to be true is because of things that I have heard / witnessed or thought about.

I take it all into consideration when forming my beliefs of what is true and what is false just as anyone else does. It is up to each person to weigh and sift their beliefs through common sense and reason. When a more reasonable explanation appears that better explains these experiences I will gladly embrace it.
