Science and Religion

2 comments

Science and religion are rarely the best of friends and the same can be said for science and religion and the paranormal.

Mainstream science tends to reject parapsychological phenomena and even though there are many examples of what could be termed paranormal experiences in the ancient texts, most religions seem to prefer to attribute these miracles to God.

I am certainly thrilled to find that science can explain many religious events in our contemporary world.

I am a mixed bag of beliefs having earned degrees in both neo-pagan areas of study and confirmations and degrees in religious arenas, holding a BA in Religious Humanities. I was named a “Fellow” of my rune Gild at 2000 pagan-fest at Gambla Uppsala in Sweden and titled “Vitki” or Rune-priest prior to that.

I realize to many this seems a tad bit contradictory, however I find The Left Hand Path and Contemporary Socio-Religio views have far more in common than disparaging or conflicting values if one simply looks past dogma and doctrine.

I feel I have a lot to offer my congregation by not being just “another” Minister of the Masses nor Follower of Popularize “Cult”. Only through a truly open mind can a person find the similarities in all things rather than the dogmatic approaches of closed minded doctrine and conformity.

Blessings Be,
Felbain

Felbain, I agree with you about the limitations of dogma. Personally I began life in an organised religion and I think that was helpful because when I walked away from it I was left with a personal void that I have sought to fill ever since. So, in a strange way I am thankful for the formalized start to my spiritual life and happy that I have moved on to explore this life and beyond through other filters.

From your post, it also seems to me that you have many areas of knowledge and interest. Would you be interested in sharing some of this with us? A small guest post on runes or a topic of you choice perhaps :)

Cheers

Rosemary
