    Premarital Sex

    Hi everyone. From what I have read, Hinduism condemns premarital sex. But why is this? Also, are there any Hindus that do not condemn premarital sex? :confused:

    Caste System and Status of Women in Hinduism

    Thank you ZenZero for your help. I greatly appreciate it. Anyway, I did not realize that most Hindus now consider men and women to be equal and that the caste system is now fading. Thank you for this information. :D

    do you consider pro-choice people to be catholics?

    Exactly! And besides that, having sex with a condom when one partner has HIV is like playing Russian roulette. Anyway, back to the topic. I personally don't see how any committed Catholic could ever consider themselves to be pro-choice. So no, I do not consider "pro-choice" (what about the...

    Can my unbaptized friend receive the Eucharist and can I baptize him?

    I'm not sure if he has any preferences as far as denominations go or not. I don't know if it was the architecture or the actual liturgy itself that made him not like it to be honest.

    Why Dont Christians Accept the Book of Mormon as Valid?

    I don't accept the Book of Mormon because I feel it is a false book. I feel that the Book of Mormon is a fraud that Joseph Smith made up on his own. But that's just me.

    Christians:Is Belief in the Trinity Required to Call Someone a Christian?

    I don't believe that belief in the Trinity is required to be a Christian but it is required to be an orthodox Christian with orthodox doctrine. The Trinity is clearly shown both in the Bible and in Sacred Tradition: In the Bible, the Trinity is clearly shown in some verses: Matthew 28:19 RSV...

    Yes, even if there is no god and it turns out that my religion is false, I would still consider my past actions to be moral.

    Can my unbaptized friend receive the Eucharist and can I baptize him?

    Ok. Don't worry about me posting as a Mormon again. I had my name removed from the membership records of the Mormon church earlier this year and I don't plan on going back to the Mormon church either. I have nothing against the Mormon church, it's just that I don't agree with their doctrine...

    Some Questions for Episcopalians

    Hi everyone. I am relatively new to the Episcopal Church and I have some questions. Does the Episcopal Church consider the apocrypha to be part of scripture just as the rest of scripture or not? Does the Episcopal Church use the apocrypha in its readings at Mass or liturgy? Does the...

    Can my unbaptized friend receive the Eucharist and can I baptize him?

    If you understood the reasoning behind my constant flip flopping, you probably wouldn't be making fun of me. The reason is that I have a disorder known as borderline personality disorder. It causes instability in the way I view myself. That is a major reason why I am constantly flip flopping...

    Athiests Only: What would suffice as proof of God?

    As others have said, the only thing that would convince me of the existence of God would happen after I was already dead. And no, none of the biblical miracles would convince me either if I witnessed them because as someone else said, they're all smoke and mirrors.

    Do Atheists believe in free-will?

    I am an Atheist and I most certainly do believe in free will. I don't see how you can believe in anything but free will. I mean, we're not robots.

    Unbiased sources on LDS history

    Have you checked out this site? The LDS Restorationist movement, including The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints The Ontario Consultants On Religious Tolerance tend to be a very unbiased organization.

    Is initiation required?

    I don't believe that initiation ceremonies are required to be a solitary Wiccan but to be involved in a coven they usually require an initiation ceremony after a period of training.
