    What do we really ‘know’

    Yes I agree we do learn from experience and that it is not borrowed learning but unique to us In our individual situations. But don’t a lot of people just copy other peoples views in other words ‘go with the flow’ thinking there is safety in numbers? But isnt this dangerous as I could end up...

    What do we really ‘know’

    Everything must be questioned not just automatically accepted as true and fact must be distinguished from opinion.

    What do we really ‘know’

    It makes sense that it is possible to measure and observe religious experiences for oneself but why is it that whereas science can make evident a truth , religion relies on ‘fruits’ and not everyone has the same experiences with the same religious information. So how do we know what we believe...

    What do we really ‘know’

    Religionists. How do you know your understanding of your religion is true and correct? Were you just born into your religion, following family tradition or believe the priest, mulla that everything he says is true? How much have you questioned yourself whether you have got it right or not ?

    What do we really ‘know’

    Many question religious and spiritual things. Those who say they aren’t real how do they know? Those who say they are real how do you know it’s just not your imagination or superstition ? What proof or evidence would skeptics require to prove intellectual and spiritual realities exist? That a...

    What do we really ‘know’

    This is the thing. Questioning is a very good thing. Just believing is not enough. We must know.

    What do we really ‘know’

    That begs the question. Can we ‘know’? Believing can be wrong but what about knowing?

    What do we really ‘know’

    We can learn things like languages and know by practising them and having our accuracy observed. But what about all the people who say they know and others don’t. How do they know they are right? Do they question themselves or just blindly assert they know?

    What do we really ‘know’

    I am more inclined towards tested knowledge as in scientific investigation. As you stated we can observe and measure.

    What do we really ‘know’

    The reason borrowed from is because it is questionable whether we learned it. Tradition and values as well as beliefs are often not questioned but just handed down and blindly followed.

    What do we really ‘know’

    This is a question I have been reflecting on for a while now. Since birth, apart from natural instincts such as hunger, thirst and sleep we seem to all be born with a blank slate for those around us to write on. As life goes on we accumulate ‘information’ which we process. But hey, it’s all...

    Did we fail God or did God fail us ?

    God teaches to love one another but it is our own choice not to do so. We are responsible for the decisions we make not anyone else, not God.

    My GOD will MURDER and DESTROY you! Care to convert? (for your own safety, of course)

    True religion, the religion of God as brought to us by the Prophets is always about love and brotherhood and against hate and bloodshed. However, throughout the ages, ambitious and self seeking leaders have twisted and used fear to control their followers, instilling in them hate and contempt...

    Building Bridges to the Unity of Humanity

    I believe in the goodness of humanity. That it will rise above its aggression and corruption and at last fulfil the dream of past ages which we all hope and wish for. If people could only know the glorious future humanity is destined to embrace their hearts would throb with joy. The pain the...

    Members leaving -- and religious debate.

    Truth must be tested. If it is truth it can withstand the most severe scrutiny and it should be put under the spotlight. But individuals should act with courtesy, dignity and respect towards one another. I love this place because I learn from others, I learn about myself and improve my...

    Which religion has the best fruit?

    The Baha’i system is unique in that it does not have any individual with power or authority in its system at all. Authority is in elected bodies. The system Baha’u’llah envisaged comprises of Local House of Justice, National Houses of Justice and the Universal House of Justice. Local and...

    Egyptian exodus proof or slavery?

    I hope you find this article informative and very well researched. https://wilmetteinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/BorovickaJan2018WebTalk.pdf

    If we ask God for Proof we must be content with one proof.

    I see the signs of God in everything, the universe, in nature and within ourselves. I see the signs of God everywhere. There is nothing that we possess that does not have a builder or inventor or creator. None of our possessions just randomly appeared. Our homes had a builder, our cars a...

    What Do Christians Mean When They Say Jesus Is A living Lord?

    By that they mean He lives in their hearts and minds and they try to carry out His teachings. Two thousand years after His death and His followers still try and follow His counsels. You can’t get more alive than that.

    If we ask God for Proof we must be content with one proof.

    We are all on our own journey and we all must find our own way. I searched intensely for truth and I found that we are living in an age of confusion not able to distinguish clearly in many instances what is true from what is not. When I gave up I decided if my existence was just this then I...
