"None of the religions advance mathematics and the sciences, therefore, none of them can bring us closer to perfect consciousness. The advances of the west you seem to value, are the result of math, philosophy and science, not religion. A tranquil mind will not recieve this knowledge, as our lungs recieve air. If we desire perfect consciousness we must study math, science and philosophy with the purpose of gaining knowledge. This isn't what religion does for us."

So, if I post proof of a religious mind capable of advancing human knowledge, you change the subject trying to pull a moderator power trip. I guess that's one way to debate..

but not mine..well, ok, maybe..

my turn..

Please respond to this thread topic like I did respond to your statement quoted above.
I believe math and science advance our knowledge of God, and expand our consciousness, bringing us closer to perfect consciousness/God, but this is an abstract concept of God, not a personal God we can come to know by studying a holy book.
