Religious Rationality should be based on the concept of Transcendology. It would be true spirituality without superstitions and conform to the laws of nature.

There is a book called "Urantia United" that perfectly describes the governing system of God.

Religious rationality is an oxymoron.

sand, Apr 28 2007

Religious rationality is only an oxymoron if it is supports superstitions. An oxymoron is an expression composed of combined contrasts. (e.g. thunderous silence) How are religions based on rational spirituality oxymorons? Spirtituality is the spiritual aspect of a person; everyone has spirit. (unless one is brain-dead)

Kurt Kawohl, Apr 29 2007

Spirits are superstitions, thereby irrational. No concrete evidence of spirits exists although you are free to believe anything you desire. Just don't confuse it with rationality.

sand, Apr 30 2007

There are no spirits floating around our universe, it is our consciousness. Dr. Lommel clarifies it thusly: You can call consciousness outside the brain "spirit", if you like, but this can be confusing because not everybody has the same ideas about what exactly "spirit" should be. And there are several "levels" of consciousness, waking consciousness, dreaming consciousness, "subconsciousness", collective human consciousness, morphogenetic consciousness, higher consciousness, Cosmic consciousness, Divine consciousness. All these levels of consciousness are interconnected, and available, also during our life in our body.

Kurt Kawohl, Apr 30 2007

Our consciousness is one of the many functions of that hunk of meat inside our skulls. Anytime you can demonstrate a consciousness outside that essential blob of protoplasm (aside from the possible consciousness which may appear in the near future in an electronic robot brain)I will accept your concept.

No one will ever agree on religion or politics, so don't even bother

Religious rationality is an oxymoron? Here is another oxymoron:Heaven-bound non-believer!

It really doesn't matter what you believe or whether you believe in God or not, living righteously will have its rewards. Religions are man-made guides to help the lost, many people don't need religion.

Kurt Kawohl, Jul 13 2007

(addition to the above)Since religions do exist and always will exist, it behooves us to institute some rationality therein...right? :)

Kurt Kawohl, Jul 13 2007

Spirit means "breath of life", Something obviously missing from a dead body.

The US government holds in its grasp right now the answers to most religious questions, this I have no doubt of. Read up on Jim Marrs book "Alien Agenda". The Paradigm clock is nearly to midnight. I believe that the govenment is close to coming clean on the Alien Agenda in order to counter the global surge of Islam which threatens the long entrenched power bastions that have steered world events since Roman times. How better to fight an ideology, a radical religion, then to give un-deniable proof and answers to most of the universes questions. Trancendent aliens have all of the answers you seek??? I am not sure, but after reading Marrs and observing much, even people I know personally, I am convinced that there is a great truth hidden under a very thin veil that is starting to show tears. Ingo Swan and others have "viewed" the truth, or so I am beginning to believe.

Sam, you can also find the answers to many of your questions in a book called "Urantia United - Tapping Into The Mind Of God For Answers On Religious Equality".

Kurt Kawohl, Aug 23 2007

Thanks, I will check into that. I feel as of late that I am on the verge of find a truth that is out there but not obvious.

SamThielen, Aug 25 2007

Rationality/reason takes all the fun out of spirituality. That's why the deismof Jefferson and Paine died out, and was replaced by ritualistic religion based on mythology. Who wants cold, impersonal logic, when you can have music, speaking in tongues, jumping up and down like a kangaroo, and the feeling of being drunk without the booze ?
