Urantia Book Thread
I have not seen any discussion regarding the Urantia texts on these forums and would love to discuss the teachings and other things pertaining to this revelation. I personally find the book to be the most profound work ever to appear on the planet. Skeptics welcome but would love to begin discussing the religious/philosophic/scientific claims of the text.

I did a bit of reading in it and had a mystic/spiritual/philosopher friend who loved it. It points up for the umpteen millionth time: all the sacred texts and ancient, modern and postmodern type books are attempt and characterizing and explaining The Great Mystery ... often with spiritual and supernatural overtones. That's good. What's not good is claiming exclusivity of truth concerning such wild guesses about the nature of things.
I'd love to get into it but I have Tolstoy's terrific journey thru such domains and Freud's "oceanic feeling versus alienation" material on the table. Too, too good. I bet Urantia is along those lines.
