    Converted because of RF

    Just to clarify, although I signed up to RF a long time ago, and my beliefs have certainly changed (over the course of 20 years), I would definitely not say that the forum has been responsible for any of those changes.

    God in sikhism more loving than Christian God

    Also, how is reincarnation - potentially millions of them - more merciful and "loving" than God's (Yahweh's) grace, which is given to us even though we don't even deserve it? God desperately wants us to know him and live kindly, to glorify him and love him and our neighbours. We don't have to...

    God in sikhism more loving than Christian God

    God in Sikhi isn't loving - it just doesn't hate. It's impersonal. How can Sikhs believe in reincarnation but not caste? I think they reject both, actually. Belief in reincarnation is a cultural distraction from the real goal of living one-ness with God (and evaporation of self) that Sikhs...

    Pope Francis gives his blessing to Council for Inclusive Capitalism

    Are you sure they're not just sniffing around the Vatican's wallet? :D

    Pope Francis gives his blessing to Council for Inclusive Capitalism

    I wonder what relation this has, if any, to the World Economic Forum's "Great Reset". They both have reference to the UN's SDGs.

    Christians: Question about lyrics in "Reckless Love"

    Hello This question is for Christians familiar with the song "Reckless Love". At my local Alpha program they've started singing at the beginning of the evening and I found this song really beautiful. Can you tell me please, what is meant by "leaves the ninety-nine", in the chorus? Oh, the...

    Christian College Women Told To Bind Their Breasts

    I am guessing most professional dancers would also have some serious sports bras going on to keep their boobs from bouncing all over the place.

    The Way, The Truth, The Life

    Yes, a "stoic" (little 's') person is someone who handles pain and suffering without complaint. However, the logo in your avatar is associated with Stoicism (upper case 'S'), an ancient Greek philosophical system fundamentally concerned with ethics, morality, and the Good (virtue). So, when a...

    The Way, The Truth, The Life

    And what do you say to the rest of my post? For someone rocking a Stoic logo as their avatar it perplexes me why you're attributing a moral value to light and darkness, life and death, existence and non-existence. These things just are. And Windwalker is right - darkness does not exist as a...

    The Way, The Truth, The Life

    Hey Brick, here's a link to the graphic designer who made the Stoic fire emblem and his page where he explains in detail what all the elements mean - he sure packed a lot of detail into such a slick image. :) The Humanist Contemplative Blog: The Stoic Emblem

    The Way, The Truth, The Life

    Life is an indifferent - a preferred indifferent. But it's not "good" in a moral sense. Likewise darkness is not "evil" in a moral sense. It just is what it is. Also some critters are adapted to life in darkness (deep sea life, for example).

    Ahura Mazda, Jehovah, and Brahman

    Aupmanyav, in Sikhi, the Hukam (the command / Will of Ik Onkar) is crucial. But it's like what Firemorphic is describing. It is not the will of an anthropomorphised character deity. I didn't know that Brahman has no Will. That's fascinating.

    Forms and Contrast

    @SalixIncendium and @Vinayaka I'm very interested in your responses to this question, if it pleases you to participate.

    Brahman's Name

    But even to call it nirguna is to give it a quality.
