    Religion is a Blessing in Disguise

    I agree with your 3 points in the beginning. However, I think your view is a tad too reductionist for my liking. The ultimate purpose of religion is extinction of ego, purification of self, and/or union with g-d IMO. All religions have this, though of course there are vast differences in the...

    Have you investigated Gnostic Christianity?

    I don't see the appeal of a largely defunct religion that says material existence is essentially bad because it's either inferior or outright evil. It doesn't make for a practical theology/ideology and it doesn't encourage the betterment of the world.

    Does Anyone Know who this Person is?

I tried searching the name online but I can't seem to figure out exactly who he is or what movement he's affiliated with. He seems to be Iranian but that's all I know. Any info would...

    Nichiren Buddhism

    The Kamakura period is definitely interesting, reminds me a lot of the 1500s Reformation in Europe. However, that said, I am not a fan of Shinran whatsoever :P :D

    Nichiren Buddhism

    Your experience sounds a lot like mine when I went. Shoshu is very pushy as they want you to practice properly and thoroughly but I think they are too controlling. I've heard SGI is even more cultish but I've never encountered them so I can't really say. As for your question, I am Jewish, but I...

    Christianity and Consciousness

    I have become very interested in theories and models about consciousness and was wondering if any Christian churches or theologians had any particular take on the subject.

    Nichiren Buddhism

    Hey Carlita, I myself am not a Nichiren practitioner currently, but I have practiced before and I admittedly still have a soft spot from Nichiren Buddhism and occasionally do think about practicing it again. Compared to other Buddhist philosophers, I find Nichiren uplifting and refreshing as...

    UN Human Rights compared to Islamic Human Rights

    Do you have any idea of the human rights records of most of the OIC nations and how the Cairo Declaration is inferior to the UDHR? Also, I think it's silly and somewhat shameful that we need supranational organization to "declare" what human rights are to begin with.

    Leaving

    Dang. I seriously hope it's not for good KT. I really enjoy your cynicism. But I understand your feelings about the changes. I hope you seriously consider returning eventually.

    Sola scriptura has no basis in Judaism IMHO.

    Any Good Books on Metaphysics?

    I am wondering if there are any good books on metaphysics that anyone can recommend? Nothing too dense though.
