Subject: RE: BS: Original intent of healing circle
Kat,

I feel quite sure that the intentions of the Mudcat Healing circle genuine and asking people to pray (or whatever a persons belief system says they should do) is something that I am in agreement with but I do feel that the Mudcat Healing circle is going beyond that level.

You mentioned religions tolerance. I think that most of us realise that Mudcat is made up is made of people from different cultures and with many different religious beliefs. Personally, I am happy to discuss my beliefs with anybody of any faith and listen to their view points but try to do this in the terms of "The Christian take on this is…" rather than to make statements of fact on a subject that ultimately comes down to personal beliefs.

There have been numerous statements on how a person is healed and how one should go about focusing energy etc. All statements in terms of direction have from Non Christians and again, I have seen it happen that when a Christian finally does question the beliefs of non Christians, it suddenly becomes a matter of religious intolerance in the minds of the non Christians. This is not the case, you are preaching your beliefs in the forum and then getting upset when challenged. I don't preach how Jesus Christ is the son of God or the power of the Holy Spirit in this forum because I don't believe that it is the right place for it but I feel pretty sure that if I did, the non Christians would leap on my back and moan about religious content rather more quickly than I have done.

Finally, when it comes to actually grouping together to send out psychic energy from the forum, you are reaching the point of not only preaching but using to forum to practice religions that are totally alien to me.
