Subject: RE: Can you sing gospel without belief 2
I read your post too, Alex, and I appreciated you being so forthright (in a gentle kinda way). It seems to me that we really don't have any way of *knowing* what the truth is--or maybe "proving" would be a better word. So we all have to go by our inner knowledge and experience of what moves us in our lives, what works for us in terms of giving us that joy and peace and strength bbc was talking about earlier, and in terms of helping us be in right relation to other people around us, and the world. I appreciate the fact that although you believe there is one true way, you find a way to respect those of us who don't. And for that reason, I hereby include you in the great toleration game!
