    Kyklos Apollon?

    Dear forum, Kyklos Apollon is a virtual circle of people who either worship Apollo (1) simultaneously all over the world at a certain date (which I don't know) or (2) on Sundays when it's t 12 p. m. locally. Does anybody know more about this? Thanks, Sirona

    Dandapani - yet another competitor in the spirituality business

    Namaste, in my latest New Age book catalogue I found this book by a former Hindu priest seemingly preaching the new Western gospel that "everything is possible". https://www.amazon.com/Power-Unwavering-Focus-Dandapani/dp/0593420454 I don't know much about him but he is handsome. That's...

    Probably not the original skin colour (Bing censors some terms) but I think the essence has been captured :grinning: Link to the website if you want to try yourself: Bing

    The End of Art

    Dear forum members, I've been playing around with an image creator offered by Microsoft Bing. Please don't ask me for technical details, I am perfectly new with this.

    Don’t give up

    Just my guess but this sounds like "former Christians who gave up reading the Bible should re-visit the Chistian religion" with the term Christianity being re-labeled as "spirituality" because "spirituality" = fashionable. There is Christian spirituality, of course, but I guess when they hear...

    The de-transition movement has reached Germany

    This has been bugging me all day long. The "de-trans movement" has reached Germany. Today at 9 a. m., German public T. V. (despite the internet, public TV is still a big deal in Germany) broadcast a documentary about a "de-transitioned" former FtM named Nele and her friend/lover(?) (also a...

    Krishna and Maya

    Last week I attended my first Hare Krishna program in 7 months. and we were told you could serve either Krishna or Maya, but not both at the same time. This seems to be one of Prabhupada's oversimplifications (" That is not possible"), but then have found representations on internet like this...

    How your original religious beliefs have been influenced and altered by Clergymen over centuries?

    I am glad that I am not a member of a religion that does threat their members with shunning for freely speaking their mind. It's easy to enforce "unity" by practising shunning. https://articles1.icsahome.com/articles/enemies-within-conflict-and-control-in-the-baha-i-community...

    Masculine Love vs Feminine Love

    As a Hindu, I find the idea of the feminine always being nice and gentle problematic. In reply to your question, I felt reminded of the movie "The Last Temptation of Christ" ( The Last Temptation of Christ (film) - Wikipedia ), in which Jesus is saved from the cross by his "guardian angel", who...

    Is Boy George Hare Krishna or Buddhist ?

    I saw a video from an ex-Hare Krishna who states that some celebrities have a "Hare Krishna phase" and George's seems to have been in the mid 1980's. "Bow down Mister" was released in 1991 and was probably the best advertisement they could have had since George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord."...

    Why do Christians accuse other religions of believing in false prophets?

    Why do you assume that everybody who doesn't believe in your prophet is automatically a Christian? As a Baha'i, you should be aware that Muslims are much more explicit in their rejection of Bahaism than Christians, and yet Baha'is hold Islam in high regard and consider it the only authentically...

    Were in the bible does it say riches can turn you away from God?

    Mark 10:25 New International Version 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

    Divide and Rule

    Based upon threads concerning school mass shootings, I think I may have understood the blame game between Republicans and Democats, at least as far as the Republican side is concerned. However, I am only an unwashed foreigner, so take it with a grain of salt. Well, I think, the Republicans...

    For Non-Abrahamics / polytheists who worship Jesus

    I read a bit about Voodoo. They have their top God Bondieu but he isn't accessible to them so they have loas which they worship instead.

    For Non-Abrahamics / polytheists who worship Jesus

    Hello, I was inspired to start this thread on a book about magic, in which the author recommended to simultaneously worship YHWH/Jesus and the Devi (God the Father + the Divine Mother). I know that a similar concept exists in Wicca, but I am mostly interested in the worship of the "Christian...

    Cross or Upright Stake

    The point is the word stauros / stavros wwhich originally referred to wood or a tree but then its meaning shifted. In modern Greek, Ερυθρός Σταυρός (Erythrós Stavrós) is the word for the Red Cross.

    Schizophrenia here is different than schizophrenia there

    People internalize their values through the behavior of their parents. (That's why there are jokes about the "Sky Daddy" here in the forum.) Now, for example, if children are told throughout their entire childhood that they were unwanted or a "failure," then, later, when they become ill, they...

    Hindus that consume milk- Why are Buffalo allowed to be killed but not cows?

    Ideally, Hindus should be vegetarians and not kill any kind of animal in practice of ahimsa (non-violence). Yet, we all know that people often do not behave ideally. I heard from the news that a law has been passed in India obliging farmers to keep their cows alive and feed them even after the...
