    You didn't choose what you believe.

    I was raised in a certain religion, even though i am still within it i have drastically changed my view point on it, opting to abandon my parents views after seeing how biggoted they were and how much they twisted the religion to suit their own outdated and prejudiced views. This came aftert i...

    Homosexuality & Religion

    People who experiment with homosexuality but are really straight are called CURIOUS. IMO Homosexuality is not something we have control over. The homosexuals who marry, have kids and are "happy" are probably 1) slightly bi OR 2) in total denial, repressing their emotions. Also many...

    What do you dislike about Capitalism?

    That it makes the rich richer and the poor poorer. It creates HUGE inequalities as the only way to become rich is to exploit someone else. It's a system where to survive you constantly have to step on others heads to get to the top.

    "How Religion Is Killing Our Most Vulnerable Youth"

    Another thing to add. Positive attitudes are very easy to feign. People can just claim that they are progressive thinkers and can repeat what they have heard others say and pass it as their own and BAM, they seem to be progressive and supportive when they could just be doing this to appear open...

    "How Religion Is Killing Our Most Vulnerable Youth"

    I agree with what you say. To end discrimination we need to be pro-active. Sure it's nice for people to chit-chat about it and feel "good" because they have a positive view on it. But action is what's needed at the moment. The string of suicides recently has shown that, although our society has...

    The gay-bashing capital of Europe

    Yes that would be a good response and i'm sure it is happening. However if this string of attacks is connected to the amount of immigration of Islamics, then something must be done, right? I think a more thorough character check should be placed on all people who migrate to a country.

    The gay-bashing capital of Europe

    Back to the original post. I read it completely disgusted. I find it hard to be accepting of certain religions that allow their people to treat others so. Sure Islam can be followed peacefully, but on the whole I feel such strong feelings of hatred from the religion that i find it hard to be...

    Same-sex coupling, Sadness and Yeshu Bhakti...

    Why is it that you have such an aversion to labels? Language is also a part of God. Without language and labels (such as, "water", "food", "air") we would be completely lost and unable to understand each other let alone understand the teachings of God.

    General Pagan questions I feel silly asking (All Pagans welcome)

    1. Often I will only offer things such as food, incence or herbs, I would go about this by burying it under the earth, by putting it under a tree or by releasing it into nature. Often these are done with accompanying chants or rythmic drumming. 2. Nature is my altar. I actually have two...

    Same-sex coupling, Sadness and Yeshu Bhakti...

    I am a part of God, we all come from God. However we are not God. We are not supreme beings, we have been covered by illusion and ego which prevents us from 'turely' realising that we are worshippers of God and not the other way around.

    How does one become a Wiccan?

    Hmm, i belive to be "Wiccan" you must follow the structured form of Wicca. Deviating from the structure is neo-paganism. Which in effect, Wicca is neo-paganism, just a form that was structured and gained popularity.

    Same-sex coupling, Sadness and Yeshu Bhakti...

    Im not sure i fully understand what you are saying. If names are only labels then what stops me from worshipping my computer? It comes from God, was created by God. But it doesnt make the computer god or worthy of worship. Shall i worship the almighty Macintosh? Funny, I think not.... :/

    Same-sex coupling, Sadness and Yeshu Bhakti...

    Madanbhakta defines himself as a gaudiya vaishnava. Therefore chanting and worshiping Krishna directly is a main part of the religion. To worship Jesus would be false worship in this case. He belives Jesus was a pure devotee, great, but why not worhsip Krishna instead of worshiping other human...

    College Orders Student to Alter Religious Views on Homosexuality, Or Be Dismissed

    Yes she should lose her case completely. There are guidelines and expectations, if she doesn't meet them then too bad. You can't join any political party you want, you have to meet their criteria and if you don't, tough luck. As a Counsellor, you can't hold views which are discriminitory or...

    Same-sex coupling, Sadness and Yeshu Bhakti...

    I think you should really think about what is important to you. I have seen first hand people enetering relationships with others who dislike their religion. It never ends well, one always compromises for the other. Religion is something personal and deep, it trancends this material realm and...

    Contradictions in Gita

    Well being imperfect we are always misinterpreting things or misunderstanding. I'm sure there aren't any contradictions. Of course we would need a bonafide Guru who has studied the scriptures intensively. But at the end of the day we need to interpret it ourselves, and if it isnt making sense...
