    Difficulties when it comes to Polytheism and me.

    Well yeah we aren't robots. It's not that it has to be purely rational but there has to be a reason to start on a path or to take it seriously. Some Buddhist especially Vajrayana or Mahayana I would qualify as more religious than say Theravada Buddhism. Vajrayana is closer to some old hindu...

    Difficulties when it comes to Polytheism and me.

    Scratch the previous reply because i'm not really that worried about it. I decided what I wanted to say more was the idea of symbolism seems downright silly to me. AT least in this context. If the gods don't actually exist I see no reason to even pay attention to them as symbols. What good old...

    Difficulties when it comes to Polytheism and me.

    The thing that annoys me is that at one point I had a bit of hope in the whole paganism thing. I am a spiritual person or I at least feel the pull of spirituality very strongly but I've not really been able to justify any spirituality on a rational level. Sure Jesus may sound nice but when I...

    Difficulties when it comes to Polytheism and me.

    Personally no. I've not had any experience like that nor can I say I would really call the experiences others have had enough of a reason to believe in them.

    Difficulties when it comes to Polytheism and me.

    Which is big part of the reason I said johnathans post boiled down to it's pointless. Philosophy is good for starting arguments and making yourself feel like some intellectual not much past that.

    Difficulties when it comes to Polytheism and me.

    I don't really care about morality all that much. AT least I can't identify any morals I find particular true all around. If they are just stories then I feel rather weird using them to communicate anything I can't say I relate to many of them. I don't care about common humanity. That is at...

    Difficulties when it comes to Polytheism and me.

    Any that would qualify as evidence for any of the gods.

    Difficulties when it comes to Polytheism and me.

    I know that isn't what you actually said but that is what I inferred from it.

    Difficulties when it comes to Polytheism and me.

    I have not seen any evidence to make the polytheistic gods any more real than the monotheistic one.

    Difficulties when it comes to Polytheism and me.

    So it's pointless. Got it.

    How is music not a tool of Satan?

    Filthy musical heathen

    Difficulties when it comes to Polytheism and me.

    I have come to discover that I rather like polytheism. Well at least certain gods from certain pantheons. The issue I personally have is actually believing in or doing anything with these gods when I can think of no rational arguments for said gods actually being a thing. It seems to me...

    How is music not a tool of Satan?

    This music encourages thor worship... IT'S ALL COMING TOGETHER! THIS IS WHY ALLAH HATES MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Jesus, the Christian Myth

    I would think that would be enough to at the very least call his existence into question rather than parade the man around as one of the most well attested figures in history.

    Jesus, the Christian Myth

    Even when I was a muslims I found jesus to be hard to believe in. There was just nothing that seemed to actually point to hard evidence for the man actually existing. A whole other thing is that we have plenty of information of other characters that put the idea that jesus has more information...

    Too Much Religion?

    Yes.

    Hinduism resources.

    I understand the whole "not a book religion thing." I was more looking for something delving into various hindu schools of thought, introduction to the gods ect. I've already read a good deal on shiva as well as the bagavad gita, the Ramayana and a few others. So something more on the academic...

    Hinduism resources.

    No I just wanted sources on Hinduism in general more than for comparative religion purposes.

    Hinduism resources.

    So recently I've been reading through norse and greek mythology and decided to switch it up a bit and look for some more information on Hinduism. I'm not uneducated when it comes to Hinduism (or quite a few religions really) but it never hurts to refresh and come at things with a different...
