I would be glad to have interested persons contact me at &lt;a href="mailto:kenbwear@att.net"&gt;kenbwear@att.net&lt;/a&gt; or 770-432-8654 to express an interest, add to our blog, or arrange a time when I can host one or a few individuals in my home for discussion or for a joint worship experience.  I am conveniently located near Windy Hill and Austell Roads, Cobb County (near Smyrna but Marietta mailing address), just a few miles from the intersection of I-285 and I-75 north.  Let's incorporate Rational Theism into our lives.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7181110674357707887-1952111537476280921?l=rationaltheism-kenwear.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rationaltheism-kenwear.blogspot.com/feeds/1952111537476280921/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rationaltheism-kenwear.blogspot.com/2009/09/rational-theists-should-become.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7181110674357707887/posts/default/1952111537476280921'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7181110674357707887/posts/default/1952111537476280921'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rationaltheism-kenwear.blogspot.com/2009/09/rational-theists-should-become.html' title='Rational Theists should become acquainted.'/><author><name>KenWear</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08358556753693261956</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7181110674357707887.post-7502710927834186075</id><published>2009-07-27T19:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-27T19:39:43.209-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Initiating Blog</title><content type='html'>I have been persuaded by personal experiences of a concurrent realm in which spirits exist as identifiable individuals.  This is outlined on the first page of my web entry &lt;em&gt;Rational Theism&lt;/em&gt; and available at &lt;a href="http://www.rationallink.org/theism.htm"&gt;www.rationallink.org/theism.htm&lt;/a&gt;.  That discussion continues to review a number of apparent characteristics of deity as well as teachings of the Christian church (Southern Baptist in the 40s and 50s) as I understood them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What persuaded me is described in my odyssey (&lt;a href="http://www.rationallink.org/odyssey.htm"&gt;www.rationallink.org/odyssey.htm&lt;/a&gt;) .  As a college student of physics I could no accept teachings that disagreed with what I could physically see, touch and count.  After many years of trying to square Biblical scripture with scientific observations, I realized that many Biblical stories are allegorical in nature rather than descriptrions of physical events.  While I love the organized church this led me toward independent thought, culminating in recognition of what I call &lt;em&gt;Rational Theism&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have established this blog hoping searchers and readers will use it as a means to establish contact with others of like mind.  Due to the nature of blogs I must control what appears, so I will post e-mails sent to me, thus avoiding spam and other abuses of this site.  You may e-mail me at &lt;a href="mailto:kenwear@charter.net"&gt;kenwear@charter.net&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best means of satisfying your personal need for a rational view of deity's involvement with man (religion) is to host 3-4 like-minded people to discuss your personal views of your lives and the world around you.  You will find my notions of Rational Theism as an organized group at &lt;a href="http://www.rationallink.org/ratth.htm"&gt;www.rationallink.org/ratth.htm&lt;/a&gt;.  Should you wish to use them you will find a song list and worship aids at &lt;a href="http://www.rationallink.org/ratth2.htm"&gt;www.rationallink.org/ratth2.htm&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please do send me information on your progress.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7181110674357707887-7502710927834186075?l=rationaltheism-kenwear.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rationaltheism-kenwear.blogspot.com/feeds/7502710927834186075/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rationaltheism-kenwear.blogspot.com/2009/07/initiating-blog.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7181110674357707887/posts/default/7502710927834186075'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7181110674357707887/posts/default/7502710927834186075'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rationaltheism-kenwear.blogspot.com/2009/07/initiating-blog.html' title='Initiating Blog'/><author><name>KenWear</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08358556753693261956</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
