Woman who sits next to me is 100% convinced, through reading a book, that if she dies whilst walking round Mecca*, she will instantly go straight to paradise.

This I agree with you - as I see it, is the difference between words as just dogma and doctrine and words being used as a waymore like get rid of dogma and doctrine in ones life
to open to felt qualities beyond just description. And I forgot to say thank you. It felt like, with these lyrics, you
were giving me something, more than just demanding something from me. Is appreciated. You gave me something that speaks to
you, I received this and 'danced' with it in my own way. You might want to be with this in a different way. Great - if you want to share
more about what the lyrics might mean for you and/or how they move you, then I'd love to listen. If not then, well... don't, right? Cheers.

simple, you do not need religion and all it entails in any way shape or form in your life
Wonderful. And for me, as I go through my own practices (not, I don't think. of eg the catholic church but I don't know for sure) then perhaps at first I mightsimple, you do not need religion and all it entails in any way shape or form in your life

can be with them in a different way. For one who has been what might be called 'a troubled soul' this is such a beautiful blessing indeed. Through this, I might look at some 'religious' teachings and say to myself 'oh, that's what they were trying to communicate.'

Do I follow this scientific dogma/doctrine so as to try and 'fit in; with the seemingly self-appointed guardians of 'truth' on bluemoon (don't mean the mods by the way) or do I follow a way that which is experienced as practically true for myself, even if many/most might not understand what I write? What would you choose, truly?

Yep, 100% how anyone with a sound mind can believe this tripe is beyond me.
i don't think they genuinely do, they might pretend to think they really believe but i think deep down they know it's plain ridiculous.
it's a shame but i think many go into religion because they're bored, don't have much going on in the lives and even for attention.

how does this sit with you
The intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behaviour of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment.
And that is your way of choosing to be with life. Might others choose otherwise, as to come to know the Lennonist world that you speak of? Or is your doctrine the only one that will work this way? And would it be fair for me to question whether you are really talking about letting go of dogma/doctrine or whether what you are more talking about, is being against 'religious' dogma/doctrine but for 'scientific' dogma/doctrine? These may not be the same arguments - yet you can choose your way, I can choose mine. Just, if you wanted to clarify which position you support, this might make communication easier?how does this sit with you
