Christianity In America

Religion is a combination of social interaction with fear in the south.

Young people read the Bible and learn love thy neighbor, forgiveness, peace and do not judge.

Thank God he is killing off the old folks.

Young folk become old folk. I recall hearing about how my generation was going to change the world. We are now the world the new generation says it is going to change. Round and round she goes. Where she stops is easily predictable.
 
Never in history have we known without a doubt, as we do now, how the brain works, how the subconscious works and how our perceptions function. It is obvious from all this information how easily humans could, and even in a way needed to, construct faith systems. It is even logical that an animal as sensitive, creative and rich in imagination as we are would come up with explanations for what seemed to them inexplicable.

The problem is that there has been little progress made in 'faith'. At the same time, 'we' have remained attached to these old ways of looking at the universe. This despite clear indications and intimations on the part of luminaries from various periods, including some who have been integrated into these out dated beliefs.

The universe remains fascinating, beautiful, even mysterious. There are still deeply important aspects that elude our comprehension. We could easily satisfy ourselves with investigating all this while at the same time contributing to genuine human psychic/spiritual welfare.

Why cling to a hoary, cob wed encrusted past?

Why not apply scientific and technological advances to PROVING how spiritual healing works, through forgiveness therapy and prayer, to affect both mental and physical illness?

I believe we could achieve this very soon, with the resources we have at our disposal.
There are more doctors and authors pursuing research and studies in this area:
Dr. Francis MacNutt, author of HEALING, Christian Healing Ministries
Dr. Phillip Goldfedder, neurosurgeon who uses spiritual counseling to achieve better results than he did using surgery, Healing Is Yours
Dr. Scott Peck wrote a book "Glimpses of the Devil" about applying the diagnosis and treatment methods in deliverance and exorcism toward healing/curing schizophrenic clients.

All human capacities should be explored.

Just militantly sticking to a discredited past is inhuman.
