Reply #18: "Change your thinking, change your life."... they need church for this?

"The OP's view that it's warmed-over power of positive thinking is probably a reasonably accurate view of it for someone who doesn't buy the teachings. A really simple overview of the teachings would be: 1. There is a power for good in the universe and you can use it. 2. Change your thinking, change your life."

The Religious Science teachings you cite are axioms that we have all grown up with, so it's not a question of me "buying" them. I just don't understand why Religious Scientists have to go to church and rehash them every week.

I guess the "going to chuch" exercise itself must have some appeal that I don't get. But, I have to admit that I'm not very good at understanding why most people do what they do, so there you go.

I appreciate the feedback from all.
