    RF, farewell!

    Thank you all so much for everything. I've learned so much from many of you members. I feel that this is my cue to leave RF for good. I need to spend more time volunteering, reading, and bathing in sunshine and rain! I will be making a random password from a generator so I can not come back...

    Excuse my ignorance, but a question about lesbians

    I love all people, and I have some good friends who are gay and lesbian. Heck, there are some in my church too! XD While relationships for heterosexual couples still generally divide through gender roles, in same-sex relationships the general dynamic is based on sensual roles instead, i.e...

    What religions and paths do you mix?

    Certainly sounds like my significant other. I had to suffer making a fried tofu sandwich for his lunch at work... mixed with peanut butter, mayo, yellow mustard and sour cream. Bleh. He just loves peanut butter in everything! He knows how to cook some basic things. He can do basic wraps...

    What religions and paths do you mix?

    Well, to simplify, post-modernism for me is that there is not One substantial truth, but that various viewpoints and stories make a collective truth instead. So imagine a mosaic, where different pieces are individual in themselves, but when placed together create an intricate image! Post-modern...

    What religions and paths do you mix?

    I used to be a Vaishnavi, but I do not practice anymore. I still have my Vaishnava name legally though, so it makes it kind of strange, lol. I believe that Krishna is the same God as Jehovah, and that Jesus is the Son of God. So if Krishna is God, and Jesus is the Son of God, what is the...

    I'm not sure if you listen to music, but I thought you might enjoy this. Plus, I think Maher Zain is a total dreamboat! <3 Irfan Makki feat. Maher Zain - I Believe - YouTube Maher Zain also has vocals-only songs. *sigh!* I wish I could be his wife! XD

    What religions and paths do you mix?

    I have a Christian heritage, a Christianised Vaishnava theological bent, and am influenced by religious naturalism, monotheistic panentheism, post-modernism, classical unitarianism, Christian universalism, and maybe Jesuism.

    Changed religion so many times, reluctant to label myself..

    :cool: I grew up alongside a strong Muslim and Sikh community in my childhood city, and in high school at least half of my friends were Muslimahs of all stripes, hijab'ed and non-hijab'ed! It is a beautiful religion when done in love and devotion to God and others. :) They taught me to say...

    A non-Catholic partaking in Catholic confession

    To me personally, the whole idea of the Rite of Confession and the Confessional was an ancient way of free counselling and therapy. Of course, over time the Rite became more systematic and taken advantage of (and I am not all too clear on whether it originated as private confession or a public...

    Folk Islam (Pagan Islam)

    I was watching the documentary once, "Around the World in 80 Faiths" which featured some Folk Islam in it, from Indonesia. One woman that they interviewed said that their cultural practices of worshipping the deceased and other such traditions did not conflict with their Islam. They regard their...

    retention rates

    I absolutely agree. I believe all religions are essentially subcultures, but if the cultural element is more prevalent than just theology, I feel that the retention is greater. In the religions of Islam, Judaism, and Orthodox/Catholic expressions of Christianity, there are greater retention...

    what's the difference between the different denomination of christian churches?

    I think it would be a difficult task, as Christian belief systems tend to vary very widely. If you're interested in a particular group of Christianity, I am sure there would be many people who can happily accomodate you! I follow the Anglo-Catholic tradition of Anglicanism. Which means...

    Do you cover your head in your spiritual tradition?

    LOL, yeah. I am absolutely against sexist interpretations of the Bible, and I take the meanings to be 'spiritual' or 'metaphorical' rather than anything literal in terms of modern application. But I understand how you feel! :) My desire to do something so retro like this, is because of...

    Wow, that's great, hun! Kudos to you for wearing it all the time! :)

    Do you cover your head in your spiritual tradition?

    Thank you hun! I absolutely love it, simply because I do it out of choice and it has been part of Christian tradition for at least a thousand years. I totally understand the reference between head coverings and oppression. Many assume also that it has to do with fundamentalism or orthodoxy...
