Exactly how could good logic ever be a downfall for anybody?

If you figure it out, let me know. I'd hate to think my own brain is plotting against me

Logic is an exercise in reasoning. It can take many paths that don't necessarily lead to the Truth. If one puts their faith solely in logic they may delude themselves and miss out on what they seek.

1 cup of projection and a dash of sophistry. Interesting recipe.

What a dilemma.

Where will you turn to seek a solution?

To logic, science and reasoning, perhaps.

Which may or may not work for pirana. However, that approach has little to no positive affect for those who suffer.

Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

I was one of those people and I want to share what worked for me.

And that's a very good thing. Other people want to do the same thing but their way may not be the same as what worked for you. That doesn't mean that their way is wrong, just different.

Well, that depends upon one's point of view and what they are suffering from.

The false dichotomy. "If you don't have all the answers, then we are the only answer."

It's funny how religious people use that. It never dawns on the Christians that they aren't the only religious entity floating about.

Personally, I think the Christians are actually the problem.
Using their "logic" they might be pushing people towards
finding alternative answers in other "real" religions.

I am glad you asked. " All scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness." II Tim 3:16
and especially "Jesus is the Truth, the way and the life." John 14:6

That is a good start, and it gets a lot better .

If all scripture is inspired by god, how do you account for all the the different accounts of Christ life that cannot be reconciled? Just for starters, the birth narratives of Mathew and Luke tell two very different stories on the birth of Christ.

Was Joseph and Mary already living in Bethlehem ? both gospels differ on this. Why would it matter that Joseph's linage could be traced back to David when Joseph was not the father? Is it three wise men or three shepards? My personal favorite is did they flee to Egypt or stay and have all of the Jewish customs for the first born male performed? If you buy the one that they fled to Egypt and only came back after Herod died and was replaced by his son. Don't you think the son would remember something about his Dad killing tens of thousand of first born male babies?

Why are Luke and Mathew so different just on the birth of Jesus alone?

Maybe or maybe not. One thing is for certain, once the wash of time has ran it course speculations will cease and the Truth will shine through.

Either way, "spiritual illness" is bullshit.

Oh, I don't know. I once drank some stuff that was labeled "neutral grain spirits," and it made me really sick.

Don't touch the stuff anymore.

Did you actually read any of those articles? I really doubt you'd agree with many of them.

What frequency is your energy vibrating at today?

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

From one of the links near the top of your google search:
"If the Source's energy, or the kundalini that was resting at the base of my spine is aroused prematurely, it explodes up the spinal cord, confusing the other six centers and causing disastrous problems. If, however, the seven centers are balanced properly and the Source's energy at the coccyx is aroused at the right time, then instead of exploding up the spine, it will spiral among the other centers and open each in sequence, greatly benefiting the practitioner. This is probably why my teachers had been careful in giving me safe objects for concentration, such as the feeling of my breath in the nose instead of one of the seven connections or centers of energy."

Somehow, this reminds me of joke about the guy who had his balls removed because of headaches.

Good for you.

Seriously though, did you actually read any of the articles? Do you realise you linked to a bunch of pagans, shamans, witchdoctors and alternative healers?

Do you want to have an ideagasm?
