    My Stoic Practice and the label ‘Pagan’

    I do suppose you’re right regarding the worship of the gods, sir aketo. As to the label, it’s very much worth considering.

    My Stoic Practice and the label ‘Pagan’

    Recently, I’ve made the decision to re-embark on the path of the Stoic prokopton (‘one who makes progress’) after graciously accepting that my henotheistic (and pantheistic) convictions fundamentally conflict with the Christian religion of my youth. While I absolutely appreciate and cherish the...

    Say Something Nice

    All right! Here goes... I greatly appreciate that Judaism places a strong emphasis on moral and ethical uprightness as taught in their Tanakh. Christianity – being the religion in which I was reared – is built around the ideal of love and mercy, which I carry with me, even as a Traditional...

    For religious "switchers"

    This is a very thoughtful question, @Orbit, and I think one which, like many of my Forum mates, I’ve given lots of thought to. I think, more so, that my own understandings of religion have changed the more I learn about it and give more consideration to my own speculations regarding the...

    Favourite Atheist arguments

    Hello, @Christine. I would like to offer you a different conception of what these things mean. It seems to me that suffering and evil do not point to the non-existence of God or gods, rather (and more directly) that God (or gods) is not providential and does not intervene in the world. This...

    Jesus: The Misunderstood Messiah

    I might give it thoughtful consideration, Harel.

    Jesus: The Misunderstood Messiah

    Ohhhhhh from what I understand, there’s an accusation of Christ-killing coming from Christians, when the reality is that Jews actually killed a witch or a sorcerer? I don’t see anything objectionable about that. Re: The church not wanting a negative depiction of Jesus, I can understand, but...

    Jesus: The Misunderstood Messiah

    I can understand, UA. I agree with you.

    Jesus: The Misunderstood Messiah

    Wow. I can understand it from this perspective! Since Jesus’s Teachings are found in the Torah, should I follow the Torah? Or I suppose since I’m not Jewish or even a monotheist at that, find a different religion?

    Jesus: The Misunderstood Messiah

    I see. That’s understandable. Ooooohhhhhh....could you give me an example? Oh! Why did the Church censor them, Harel? Also, what kind of witchcraft was it? Does The Talmud go into any details?

    Jesus: The Misunderstood Messiah

    I don’t think that either one misinterpreted the concept, Brick. The understandings are just different, that’s all. Though, I have mistakenly accused religious Jews of slander, because of my own lack of comprehension. It does cause to think: what else do I not understand about Judaism??

    Jesus: The Misunderstood Messiah

    I was underneath the gravely mistaken impression that more religious Jews claimed that Jesus is a false messiah (which is to say that, He was deceitful in His Teachings), rather than simply saying that they are not too convinced that He is the Messiah. Thanks to @Harel13 and @Brickjectivity, and...

    Jesus: The Misunderstood Messiah

    I see. Perhaps you’re right. I owe myself the honest truth regarding this matter.

    Jesus: The Misunderstood Messiah

    Audie, you’re right. It does make no sense. I’m sorry for responding in a less than clear-headed manner. Forgive me, again, for not understanding. Could you please repeat the question? Forgive me a third time, I meant no condescension. I just don’t know you in a familiar way. I use it to...

    Jesus: The Misunderstood Messiah

    Hmmmmm....Brick, perhaps you’re right. I did not exercise an even temper in my OP, or in my replies to you, or Audie, or anyone else who commented. I humbly apologize to you.

    Jesus: The Misunderstood Messiah

    Christians recognize that Jesus is the Messiah off of His own Claims to be so. What Jesus actually meant by it is something fundamentally different from the conception that Rabbinic Jews have. Unfortunately, that has happened in history. It’s absolutely shameful that Jewish people have gone...
