    Why modern Stoicism misses the point (article)

    Stoicism isn't a religion. :|

    Why modern Stoicism misses the point (article)

    This is a great article bringing attention back to traditional Stoicism and the role of Logos and Providence in this system of philosophy, in contrast to modern Stoicism which tends to drop out or minimize the role of these concepts, potentially to the detriment of the philosophy in practice...

    Concept of Charity in Religion

    I speculate it makes some people feel a little self-righteous nowadays, but back when a lot of this stuff was written, perhaps people needed reminding that it was OK/better to share.

    Concept of Charity in Religion

    In Sikhi, the Code of Conduct, section 4, says: n. A Sikh shall regard a poor person’s mouth as the Guru’s cash offerings box. Sikh scripture (Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji) mentions charity as a positive thing, but more often reminds us that simply giving charity is not enough; we need to be kind...

    I once was lost but now am found - share your story

    Were you once a seeker, like many in this subforum, wandering from church to temple to circle to shrine, seeking your place within the tapestry of the world's religions and spiritual traditions - and some time ago you actually found that place? What helped you find it? How did you know when...

    Gentiles in Christianity

    Hi Daisies Thanks for taking the time to reply. This isn't the story I was asking about, but it definitely relates to my question more generally and if valuable. :) Treks

    Choosing a Religious Path

    G'day, mate. I'm in a slightly similar boat as yourself, however I grew up 'new-age' I suppose, and have explored Wicca, then over a decade learning and practicing Sikhi with some brief spurts of atheism and other occasional tangents of exploration such as Christianity and Germanic Heathenry...

    I'm Hindu but I also want a Sikh wedding

    Then they can be content with Ik Onkar's Sat Naam. :)

    I'm Hindu but I also want a Sikh wedding

    I'm not sure the idea of the Absolute appearing in many forms wih many I suppose they don't have much regard for the SRM, not to mention what Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji says as its very first word. To each their own!

    I'm Hindu but I also want a Sikh wedding

    That's interesting, as I haven't come across the kind you're talking about. SGGSJ makes it very clear that they are not the Ik Onkar.

    I'm Hindu but I also want a Sikh wedding

    SGGSJ indicates that worship of idols, pilgrimages, bathing in sacred water, etc. are not useful. It focuses on what I suppose is equivalent to Brahman and views other deities as entangled in Maya. The Sikh Rehat Maryada prohibits Sikhs from a number of Hindu and Muslim religious observances...

    Heathen Discord

    Only a handful of active members. Lots of lurkers - people offline don't show up in the list to plebs like me so I can't really estimate, sorry.

    Gentiles in Christianity

    Thanks for the responses, particularly the references to other parts of Bible scripture, @Deeje and @Beth Stitely . Romans 11 is a tricky chapter. Perhaps it's just in Paul''s delivery. But it sounds (to me, an outsider) like he's saying that the Jews will only improve if they become jealous...

    Mods feel free to delete if this is inappropriate. Here's an invite to a Discord server for discussing Heathenry: Discord - Free voice and text chat for gamers It has a small regular chatter base comprising a cross-section of universalist-type Heathens to more folkish (not racist) ones...

    Gentiles in Christianity

    Hello When Gentiles read the New Testament, what do you think of parts such as Jesus and the Gentile Woman (where Jesus was not inclined to help the woman because she was not Jewish) and Paul's letter to the Romans where he reminds Gentiles that they are a branch of a wild olive tree, and the...

    I'm Hindu but I also want a Sikh wedding

    My learning about Sikhi and previous engagement with the Sikh community indicates otherwise. It's great that the people can currently live side-by-side in daily life. However, Sikhs who worship Hindu deities have kind of missed the point of Sikhi imho.

    I'm Hindu but I also want a Sikh wedding

    Well, Sikhi is its own religion. Some animosity exists between Hindus and Sikhs - there is a history of Hindus insisting Sikhi is a branch of Sanatan Dharma and Sikhs struggle for their own unique recognition. A problem is that Sikh scripture uses examples and stories from Hinduism but...

    Where do these Wicca symbols come from?

    That's a really eclectic collection of symbols including symbols representing different religions.
