    Nothing Exists Outside Of Spirituality.

    New Age authors fill entire books with that kind of stuff, especially if it was channelled by spiritual entities, preferably good ones. Maybe a glorious future as an author is lying ahead of you. :) Anyway, I think it's interesting they always come to "the same conclusion" independently from...

    He Gets Us - I think this one was on the Super Bowl

    Religious TV advertizing is forbidden in Germany. It's just like that. In Germany, there is a "Broadcasting Media State Treaty" that prohibits it. It is probably because the "traditional" churches, the Lutheran and Catholic churches (which are public corporations), help negotiate this treaty...

    He Gets Us - I think this one was on the Super Bowl

    Religious television advertising would be banned in Germany, as was the case with the Power for Living campaign (2001). However, religious services may be shown, and in such programs, religious books and media may be promoted (as long it's not a mere shopping program). Apparently the German...

    My Sweet Lord

    I don't want to get onto slippery ground by "preaching" but here, I probably have to give an answer based on my faith. According to Prabhupada, the souls aimlessly wander through the world ruled by Illusion (Maya) until they start worshipping Krishna (who grants liberation from Maya) with the...

    My Sweet Lord

    Is this a joking question or serious? ;) This song popularizes the Hare Krishna mantra, which is used to invoke the Hindu deities: Hari (Vishnu), Krishna and Rama / or Krishna who gives joy (rama) to his girlfriend Radha (Hara), depending on the view. The mantra originates from Bengali...

    Non-Christians enter into the Kingdom?

    I'm no expert on farming, but sheep are probably meek and complying, while goats tend to be more robust but also stubborn. Moreover, the goat has become an archetypical symbol of Satan (Baphomet - Wikipedia).

    Could be true. :D

    Flying in dreams

    Sometimes, I have dreams about flying, too. I assume you refer to flying in Superman-style, and not by airplane? It might indicate you're dreaming of literally "leaving everything behind" in a situation you may deem inescapable, especially if you're not able to leave by any other means, such as...

    Poll: Is AI the New Religion

    Well, one of Asimov's Robot short stories deals with robots developing their own religion (Reason (short story) - Wikipedia ) And you can always join Robotology . Well, not yet, but ...anytime soon. . . :rolleyes:

    Weird dream about Jesus and Christianity

    It wasn't an explicit threat. More like, "You better not do this."

    Weird dream about Jesus and Christianity

    SPOILER: Possibly offensive to Christians I just had a very weird dream. It was about God the Father offering me to live with his son in the form of my childhood favorite actor, on the condition that I would only be "loving" towards him and not turn to "sin". But of course I started to reproach...

    Convince me that God is loving

    Dear @Trailblazer I’m not a Christian anymore; I do not even belong to an Abrahamic religion. Yet, as you asked for advice, I will give my two cents as well. 1. If I were you I would consider dropping a possibly harmful / pressure-causing image of God entirely; some people might be better off...

    What do you think about other religions?

    Interfaith for the sake of interfaith is good. Interfaith for the sake of pushing an agenda is ... not so good. :(

    Bilingual fun

    On a holiday trip, I had to simultaneously translate the recorded description of the guided tour on an excursion boat for my parents, who don't speak French (so I didn't have any time to think about the translation). We passed a couple of the Camargue's famous horses and I translated that the...

    Public Ownership of the Means of Production

    In East Germany, this was called "people's property". Since you were "part of the people", you owned pretty much "everything", but not "really", so you had no incentive to take care of it. As a result, especially industrial businesses were running on empty, and those did own something (e.g. a...

    Love this

    When I read the Watchtower at my grandma's, it always said that Jehovah's Witnesses were non-political. But that was at least 20 years ago, so I don't know if that's still true, and I don't want to start a debate on the subject. Just saying.

    Is it "dishonest" to talk nicely to missionaries?

    My grandmother had a regular (uninvited) JW visitor because they were some acquaintance (they had been working colleagues or something like this). At that time I knew a bit about the Bible because it was interesting for me as I wanted to become a Christian/Catholic at any price. So, the lady...
