Though I still use some of the ideas and symbols, I was never part of any group. Like Mormonism, I find it interesting.

My quest for truth has ruined most of my faith, but I still see good and purpose in stuff.


So do you remember Lemuria?

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but Amore said something I wish to say something about...
Amore:
"God is a process fulfilling itself."


We know this is true of nature, and we can actually see it, so why violate Occam's Razor with an added entity that does nothing to the point? I can skip the extra and just say what is actually verified and verifiable, "nature is a process fulfilling itself." Adding God to that is simply redundant and accomplishes nothing to what is real and seeable and we can interact with and live in and see, smell and taste and live in.
