    Ah, yes. I thoroughly enjoy Tad Williams' work. I debated for a moment to (sarcastically) select "The Aedonite Religion" as my displayed religion, but then I concluded that the reference would be lost upon the masses. Your post has proven me wrong. I will be the first to admit that my days as a...

    I wholeheartedly agree with everything said here. I agree that not all mental illness stems from chemical imbalances in the brain, or is cured by medications. Sure, western medicine has plenty of practical uses, but it does not do a good job of healing the human soul. Thank you for sharing your...

    I'm basically an anarchist that has a love for everything artsy-fartsy, and barters for goods and services with goat furs and pottery shards...

    How do you cope with a lack of religious diversity in your community?

    Very true. Hinduism is definitely a lot more "flexible" than, say, an Abrahamic religion. Still, regardless of the society we live in, human beings have very strong opinions of things, so make sure to give yourself credit where credit is due.

    Like everyone else on this green Earth, I try my best. It took a lot for me to become the person I am today. I have done things I am not proud of. But it just goes to show, that sooner or later everyone finds themselves. Thank you for the compliment, by the way. If there are a lot of folks just...

    I was a member back in like 2010 or 2011. It was during my days as an atheist. Looking back, I realize now that I had to get a lot of baggage off of my chest, and found comfort in "religion bashing." That's not to say that I have anything against atheists or even folks that have a strong...

    How do you cope with a lack of religious diversity in your community?

    Thank you very much for sharing. I can definitely understand where you are coming from as far as family and traditions are concerned. I also used to be an atheist living in a closed-minded religious family. It is very difficult, at least it was for me. For what it's worth, I am not interested in...

    How do you cope with a lack of religious diversity in your community?

    Recently, I have moved to a much more rural American community, where the only concept of "church" is either Catholic or Methodist. In years past, I used to live in a large metropolitan area with a wide range of different worship centers, everything from ornate Jewish synagogues to otherworldly...

    I don't fit into any political mold.

    For what it's worth, here are my stances on ten important issues: 1. Our government is extremely corrupt, and multinational corporations hold too much power. 2. Americans should be legally allowed to own guns. Strict background checks and certain situational bans are okay, but only if...

    Thank you very much. My mother has very severe, debilitating schizoaffective disorder, so I have very personal connections to this line of work as well. As an only child, it was my responsibility from a very young age to assist her with her illness however a young child could.

    All very thought-provoking points! To answer your questions, I view every human perspective of god(s) to be flawed. I would tend to think that as an agnostic-theist, every kind of theism is equally plausible, perhaps not even mutually exclusive of each other. "God-born perspectives" are...

    Those are definitely two very important and interesting questions to ask others, as well as oneself. When I was younger, I very much reveled in the thrill and excitement of debating and getting my point across. It is not easy to do on the internet, so my hat is off to you, sir. However, I find...

    Back, after a long, LONG break.

    Let me put it this way: I am not concerned with the "thou shalls" and the "thou shall nots," though I respect other people's adherence to them. I tend to also view the gods, deities, higher powers, etc. as different perspectives in and of theology as a whole. However, I am also very much...

    Hello, Religious Forums! My name is Aaron, and I used to be a part of this community many years ago. After a long hiatus, I felt as though I could get (and give) a lot out of reconnecting with all of you. I recently turned thirty, and have finally settled into a rewarding career. I work in...
