Now I'll probably sound like WV-girl. Ethics (perhaps) is something that has to be EXPERIENCED - and is not something that's learned in our usual manner of expression.
The Truest and Purest Ethics stem from a Spiritual Relationship. My belief is - it has to start with my and you - it has to be a personal endeavor that takes root and carries us through life. Then I believe we need to compliment that endeavor by letting this Spiritual Experience intensify though the bonding with others. I believe our homes need to be the PRIMARY FOCUS and then we could carry that over to school, work, and everywhere else.
Well this will probably shock you - but I do not believe going to Sunday School, church, or practicing rituals such as the Holy Water, Communion, Baptism...and so forth make us any more SPIRITUAL or ETHICAL unless it FIRST COMES FROM WITHIN - It has to be an authenic INTERNAL PROCESS that changes our existence before the external events can have true meaning.
Do you consider sounding like me is a bad thing?:laugh:
Thank you for being much more articulate than I am. (You really are very perceptive) This mb is the first and only mb I have ever participated in, so I am learning(slowly) .
Not shocked. I have found that some church's can be more of the devil's (for lack of a better descriptive) playground for causing all kinds of problems within its congregation. So again we are in agreement.
