    Jewels On The Necklace of The Soul

    @Gargovic Malkav, your post resonates with me on a very different level. “There is no “outside my own religion”.” This right here….fact. The part I bolded in particular is a mirror that reflects my own soul. *sheds tear*

    Jewels On The Necklace of The Soul

    I see! We all surf on different waves, Aup. That is to say belief in God or gods or the soul is not going to make sense to every person, so each of us finds Truth and Wisdom in a different form.

    Word ‘‘em up, Brian. As it says in the Book of Proverbs, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.”

    Everything you say is true, @Brickjectivity. I’m awed at your broad-mindedness and patience. I know that I’m in the same boat. One of the books that first cracked my skull (so to speak) was Huston Smith’s book on The World’s Religions. Have you read it?

    This is all very beautiful, @sun rise. Tell me more about the Baal Shem Tov! I know only a little bit about him, namely that he started the Hasidic movement.

    Jewels On The Necklace of The Soul

    Interestingly, in spite of my monotheistic belief, I do as well! I just love stories, like Ovid’s Metamorphoses and the Kojiki of Shinto.

    Jewels On The Necklace of The Soul

    Blessed greetings. In my twenty-five years of life on Earth (seven of these so far spent as a Bahá’í), I’ve had the blessing of meeting and befriending people from a variety of different cultures and religious backgrounds, as well as doing some rather voracious reading and exploring. I...

    What religions have you belonged to in your life?

    I was brought up a non-denominational Christian, which was a fine thing. Very beautiful. Then, from my World Cultures class in sixth grade, I was introduced to all different kinds of religions. I grew especially fond of Hinduism and Islam. I was enthusiastic! Fast forward a bit to early high...

    Are the scriptures a manual or a guideline?

    For me, the Scriptures, more than anything, are a firm foundation to live by in a spirit of humility, openness, patience and dedication.

    Differences (Religious/Spiritual only)

    I would fully agree with you, dude. Different religions and philosophies can give us different perspectives on Reality. And, indeed, they are all worth cherishing. The way I look at it, different religions are like different subjects in school. You’ve got your Art, your Music, Phys Ed, your...

    What Convinced You?

    For me, it was a few different things that brought me initially to – and brings back to – my path as a Stoic: my very introspective nature, from which was born my love of philosophy and religion; my ceaselessly obsessive love of classical and post-classical history; and an unshakable sense of...

    Why are Abrahamic religions so violent? It's the blood.

    *sighs* Where do I start with this one? From the bolded: These things you mention, and things much, much worse occurred in cultures that predate the advent of the Abrahamic religions. From the blue: I can tell one thing for certain: this person’s knowledge of the “Abrahamic religions” is...
