    Favorite religious picture of Jesus

    http://www.orthodoxphotos.com/cgi-bin/photo.pl?path=Icons_and_Frescoes/Icons/Jesus_Christ&file=30.jpg 'Tis a fellow icon of one I discovered a year ago, in an old Catholic church. I take care to treat it with the reverence due. :) (I'll see if I can dig up an old photo I took of mine a while...

    Name god in 10 words or less

    Anyone ever had a failed suicide attempt?

    Yes, twice. Indeed.

    What religion would you pick?

    Y'know, not all religions suggest the existence of some form of after-life... ;) As to the OP; an interesting question. My first instinct would have been to say either 'pure', whatever that means, Taoism or Kemetic Faith, but then that wouldn't be very accurate. I suspect that following Taoism...

    Do you think all religions lead to God?

    For some time, I've been thinking that God leads to all religions, and not vice versa. 'Tis a subtle difference, at least intellectually. :) Except that's not how 'I' understand 'God', so perhaps I can't answer your question after all...

    Vote, and turn me into a goat!

    Ahhhh, well, the PSP did tempt me for quite a while. :) But my earliest gaming-memories come from playing old Mario and Zelda games at two in the morning on the original Game Boy; I still get shivers whenever I hear any music from those games. I've always, secretly, been a Nintendo fanboy at...

    What is faith?

    Faith, for me, has always been a melding of paradoxes. Faith acts first as an arch between our external perceptions and internal conceptions, between the certainties of the self and the ambiguity of the all; and yet, ultimately, transcends such divisions. Belief, on the other hand, I see as an...

    Vote, and turn me into a goat!

    *le gasps* Only six people want to turn me into a goat? What's wrong with you people? ;) (By the by, I bought an utterly awesome DS. Woo! Go me! :D)

    Trinity - Fact or Fiction?

    Neither, and yet I suspect there are elements of both; it's mythological. :) Ahhh, but scripture is never 'alone', it is always defined by imparted context and interprated via subjective concepts.

    Religious vs. Spiritual

    I'm not sure that such things can be divided so... Simply. Many religions exhort the benefits of cultivating a spiritual dimension to one's identity, and many spiritual paths utilise aspects of religiosity in defining and guiding those that follow. Personally, I tend to believe that both are...

    Vote, and turn me into a goat!

    Danke, both of you. Small, complimentary packets of cheese and frubals have been sent as a token of gratitude for your time spent and advice given. :)

    Vote, and turn me into a goat!

    (At least, a metaphorical goat... Symbolising... Erm... The metaphysical ramifications of pursuing an artificially imposed pre-conceptualised structure of existence... Maybe) Anyhow... I've recently (and entirely legally) come into possession of some disposable wealth, and as such desire to...

    What Is NOT Sacred?

    Indeed. Because of this, everything is sacred, at the same time. The Netjer are profane, and the earth is sacred; and yet this is not entirely so. Neither can be devised completely from the other, or from my-self. At least, so I sometimes think... *smiles*

    What is your greatest hope?

    To become beyond hope, and then to become beyond being beyond hope. :) As the sages suggest: Look at plain silk; hold uncarved wood. The self dwindles; desires fade.

    Does anarchy = chaos?

    Indeed it has. It's a just a shame that, unfortunately, what you've described is not what Anarchy is. (At least, the socio-economic political theory of Anarchy, that capital letter is important ;)) If I may quote a quote: (Important bit highlighted, forsooth) Anarchism, in short, tends to...

    yuvgotmel & NordicBearskin: Egyptian beliefs and the Kabbalah

    Avast! (A vast what?) I'm intrigued. Can you tell me a little more about these visions? Well, the Kemetic system in itself isn't really pantheistic, nor is it really theistic. The conceptions of the divine it holds tend to be somewhat ambiguous and, as you said, fluid. (Part of the problem...

    yuvgotmel & NordicBearskin: Egyptian beliefs and the Kabbalah

    Hola! :) As you seem to be more experienced at these kind of discussions, I was thinking of letting you define the exact where and why-fores of it all, but as this is meant to be more of an exchange of ideas rather then a linguistic food fight, I shouldn't think we'd need any of the usual...

    Free Frubals!

    Woot; congratulations and discombobulations! :D *hurridly pushes a donkey laden with cheap bath salts in the general direction of Sunstone*

    Confused - God or science?

    Em hotep laws, 'tis good to meet you! I wish you happiness and harmony within your search for clarity, wherever that clarity takes you. :) (By the by, where in the UK do you hail from?)

    Why should i be Catholic?

    I'm guessing you mean the Roman Catholic church, as opposed to... *suddenly looks at where posting is taking place* Well, er... Solved that one fairly quickly... ;) As Jacquie has suggested, asking around both here and elsewhere should prove fruitful, I believe we have a good number of...
