Re: aikido and christianism

Good conversation all. Jun, completely understand your concern about keeping the topic from straying....that is not my intent.

I think it is relevant to discuss eastern beliefs comparatively against christainity. Aikido, at least culturally is founded on eastern philosophy/beliefs so I find it relevant to the topic of reconciling religion with aikido.

Alan,

My time is Kevin on the board here...do not go by military rank here, but thanks for the offer. We are all equals in the practice of our art for sure!

I tend not to focus on looking at the differences or conflicts between eastern beliefs, but the similarities and where they can be mutually supporting or beneficial!

I believe it is possible for two people with very diverse beliefs and backgrounds to share their beliefs and grow from the adventure!
