Yeah, like Socrates, Aristotle, Plato, Diogenes, Buddha, Confucius, Euclid, Heraclitus, Lao Tsu, Androcles, the Vedas folks, Upanishad folks, Hindu folks, Yogic folks, Zarathustra, Sun Tsu, etc.
How can we get rid of our sinfulness?

There are many tasks just as difficult. You know, a few years ago the Church studied its own employees and was surprised to find that nearly 55% of priests had at one time considered leaving their ministries. Mind you, The Vatican did not widely publish these statistics
Of course it is.If being of the faith means one is morally upright and trying to live by the essence of the Gospel, that is enough I think to justify the beliefs that individual has.
Indeed, but to play devil's advocate, these were all good MEN, but none quite offered the promises of Christ.
Funny, even our friend AJ tries to downplay the fact that Jesus Himself claimed His "religion" was quite exclusive.
I misunderstood. Sorry. I s'pose it works for some. I don't seek the inner me by doing it that way, though. Sometimes the outside world reflects the inner me and sometimes I just look inwards.
Psychologically, the best way to resolve inner conflicts is to first acknowledge them. If prayer helps us to internalize and vocalize our despair, that is a healthy beginning to healing.
How dissapointing! I figured that was the obvious reply, but thought you'd avoid it my friend. Now for sure one day I shall have to plan a trip to join Fr. Henry in badgering you
I enjoyed it. Gave me quite a rush a few times. The toys were cool to play with, too. The snorkel was my favorite toy:

I guess you could say that. It is a system of believing in non-belief.It's not a religion, but it is a belief system
There's no philosophy behind it? No teaching? Sanctus said,"Jesus was not only our Saviour, He was a remarkable teacher."
There's no religion behind several of the philosophers I mentioned, but they were still teachers.

Sure 'nuff is! And you know what, you folk make the most amazing converts! hah hah hah
Uhuh. But there is evidence that proves these people to actually have existed. My mind can conjure up some pretty fantastic characters, too.
Of course there is a belief system to yoga and those who support such a way of exercising. It's not so much about physcial exercise as it is about a system of "soul" exercises.
That goes without saying.
Whatever works. But, I would rather conquer my own rough seas. Something about self-confidence.

You doubt the actual existence of Jesus as a man? Cynic!
