Well I could move on but every time I see the forum it has this thread sticking out at me

</font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font>
This Sanctuary is a place for people of all spiritual beliefs and faiths to offer support and compassion to each other in the form of prayers, meditation, and expressions of spirituality. This forum is for support, not religious debate.

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">

</font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font>
What I wanted to do...

Was to talk with the people who were willing to see that reason and faith are both important and that they compliment each other.

I then wanted to use reason to contemplate Gods nature...
To see what the limits of reason are...
So as to understand where reason leaves off and faith starts...
To see that they compliment each other and work in harmony.

Kind of like how theorists are currently starting to investigate emotion and reason and are seeing that we are best off if they work in harmony and that if we set them up to oppose each other it only leads to conflict and disorder.

I wanted to investigate those issues...

Since DocJohn's words aren't enough, perhaps we need him to weigh on this particular line of questioning? OR I could just leave without any spiritual support at all.

Again, I read most of the posts as textbook offerings not the "I" statements that would show me your personal voyage. I agree with September, as I certainly am a child of God. I also become a bit miffed when ppl debate His existence even under the premise of support. IMO there shouldn't be any thread in this forum that I wouldn't feel comfortable posting into, based upon how I am reading the forum goals. If I'm reading them wrong... ???
