When my son gets a new toy he sits down and play with it until he’s figured out everything that it does. He pushes all the buttons, turns it around and looks at from every perspective, moves it this way, tosses it that way until he completely understands what the toy is for and what he can do with it. He’s not content for me to show him what it does. He has to try it himself, figure it out for himself, and learn then come to an understanding on his own. This is how I look at religion. This is how I learn about my own and other religions. I think this is how it should be; it is human nature to question and be curious. We should be that way with everything. I don’t want to be told what to believe, what is right to believe and more than my son is content for me to tell him how his toy works then not let him explore it for himself. We should all be like two years olds, but potty trained. |

Oh Yes...Potty Trained is a must!
When my oldest Nephew was just turning 1, I was really into photography, I was shooting B&W film, and he was in a pile of his toys and he was so fasinated with a balled up pair of socks! LOL!

That's a very good way of looking at things. I'm kind of like that now.

I don't see a problem with learning about religion that way. Things end up meaning more to you when you learn about them that way sometimes....or at least they do to me.

I would say that we should all be curious about everything, not just religion. A successful scientist continues to ask questions even when the answers seem obvious.
Think about Einstein learning the news of the Michaelson-Morley experiment that says that light travels at the same speed in every direction. Every scientist at the time could ask the question: how is that possible when we know that the earth is flying through space at such an enormous speed relative to the sun, or the galaxy center?
That one question gave us the theory of relativity...

Yes i agree. My husband believes that science and religion are very much the same. Both seek to explain things we humans don't understand.
If we didn't explore and learn we wouldn't get anywhere.

I would have to agree on this issue. Nice way of putting it.
