the idea of conversion is said to be the union of the believer and the divine
Edited on Tue Jun-05-07 10:52 PM by datasuspect
a marriage between christ and his bride the christian (from some song somewhere) for christians.

do you think there is some sublimated sexual impulse embedded in the understanding of spirituality as a guiding force or meditation upon the unknowable?

do the same drives intertwine to bring one closer to belief as they do toward procreation?























that's as pseudo-profound as i can get.






please offer your ideas, bloviations, prognostications, dabblings in dilletantism, or invalid aristotelian syllogisms in this thread.

That'll answer all of your questions. (snort)
