If there was a Nobel Prize for religion.........

Post by deacon blues »

......who would get the award? In past decades I would say the Dalai Lama, or C.S. Lewis, maybe even Spencer Kimball in 1978. But for the last few years nobody comes to mind.
God is Love. God is Truth. The greatest problem with organized religion is that the organization becomes god, rather than a means of serving God.

I would nominate pope Francis. I like that guy. He has done a lot of great things for the Catholic church.

I also like Deepak Chopra.

I nominate the Three Nephite Amigos.

Mostly so we can see what they look like when they pick up the award ....

The founders of NOM 2.0.
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.
