Changing beliefs.

Mar 25, 2008 11:08

The past two years have been almost painfully unstable for me spiritually. I don't think I've ever really come close to not believing in God, but studying Christianity has, as I'd hoped, led me to review many of my beliefs ( Read more... )

Very interesting thoughts. I think you and I could have a very lengthy conversation about religon.

I'm...pretty sure I could have a lengthy conversation with just about anyone about religion. It's kind of my major. ;)

Well yeah, but a religious conversation with me will blow your mind. Your life will never be the same. ;)

Hi dear -- thanks for writing this post. Being on my own spiritual odyssey, it helps to know what other people are going through.

I looked up Tillich (because my religious education is profoundly bad), and now I'm really interested in reading The Courage to Be. I was reading the Wiki article about him, and it has a picture of his grave -- in New Harmony, Indiana, very close to Evansville. Who would have thought that a great, German-born theologian would end up buried in rural Indiana?

Actually, I didn't know that about his grave until I found the Wiki article. Now part of me wants to pilgrimage there. The book I've read of his was Dynamics of Faith, but since I liked it so much, I had The Courage to Be recommended to me. I also have his Systematic Theology which is, as you might guess, a litter drier but still intriguing, though I've only read bits.
