    Shiva is the name of the 666 in Revelations, is Shiva Satan?

    I just want to have an honest discussion about this, the point of this post is to have just that. It's NOT my intention to disrespect anyone's religion, beliefs, gods/goddesses, etc. __________ Satan may actually be Shiva in the east. I have included an article on this at the bottom of this...

    Is it the prime example of the "false theist"?

    Look: the Trump is reading the Bible. Today he is liker wanting to pollute the Earth. But read again, "Trumpy": "And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to...

    "The Shack" - consistent with the Bible? *Christians Only*

    Last week the film adaption of "The Shack" opened in Germany, and I'm currently reading the book. I would like to know from Christian forum members at which points "The Shack" is not consistent with the Bible and why not. Thanks for your replies!

    Cheeki Breeki and religious texts.

    I don't know what has tempted me to do this but recently while reading various religious texts ( bagavad gita, greek myths, bible, tao te ching and various books on Shinto) for the last few days I've been more or less listening to this on loop. Cheeki Breeki gets the religion. Help Study...

    Inner and Outer Bible Meanings - Results in Untruthfulness

    All traditional churches are esoteric in nature. That is, their authoritative writings are presented as having inner meanings for the initiated and an outer or literal meaning for the uninitiated. With Christianity, for example, the inner meanings have long been forgotten and people have now...

    Bias , monotheism, polytheism and arguments

    We all have our own personal bias whether we recognize it or not. We all have things we favor and we all have things we have personal issues with. Sometimes these bleed over into the arguments we will and won’t consider and why we agree with one side or another. I notice in myself a bias...

    OT ritual by Jesus and his disciples is missing in the New Testament prior to crucifixion. Why?

    It struck me as strange that there are no accounts of Jesus or his disciples making animal offerings at the temple. The old covenant was still in effect because Jesus hadn't ascended yet and from my understanding it is taken that Jesus and his disciples were Jewish. I found it strange that...

    If one part of the bible is wrong do we toss out the whole thing?

    Lets say the Exodus didn't happen, or Genesis is entirely made up. Not a single instance in these books happened. Do we toss out the whole thing? can there still be spiritual truth in a book full of myths? Or maybe say it turns out the Jesus of the bible never existed, is there still worth in...

    Day 3 bible reading :Everything has kind of changed.

    This is a bit late since day 3 was actually yesterday but I've been having a lot go on. I couldn't explain to you exactly what changed to make me reconsider all of this but it has indeed changed. Yesterday while reading the bible I just had this sudden desire to try and communicate with God...

    Day 2 bible reading.

    So today I've put in far less time to reading the bible than I put I yesterday. I had to cut it short because in all honesty i'm already feeling like this was a bad idea. Not because of the time frame mind you but because i'm clearly getting very little out of this. I already know the bible...

The people who care can check it out and comment and the people who just aren't all that interested can...

    Read through the entire bible in 7-10 days

    I've just recently finished going through the god delusion by Richard Dawkins. Honestly I've never liked Dawkins and I've found his writing style to be almost unbearable. So we're looking for a change of pace. My intention is to read through the entire Christian bible in either 7 or 10 days. I...

    Jesus in the Temple, protesters in the street

    Many people know the story of Jesus cleansing the Temple by casting out the money changers in the book of Matthew. He went in very angry, threw over their tables, presumably scattering and/or damaging their belongings, and chased out people and animals with a whip. Recently, there have been...

    Misogyny in the Abrahamic Religions

    Qur'an (2:228) - "and the men are a degree above them [women]” Qur'an (24:31) - Women are to lower their gaze around men, so they do not look them in the eye. Qur'an (4:24) and Qur'an (33:50) - A man is permitted to take women as sex slaves outside of marriage. Women aren't as intelligent as...

    The Devil is a derogatory term for the word Devi

    The term "Devil" is an abrahamic corruption of "Devi" from the east, which originally has a more respectable meaning. Devi represents the Life Force (Serpentine Energy) which is what animates all living, forming the light of the soul. The Myth of Eden (The Adam and Eve story is about Kundalini...

    The Adam and Eve story is about Kundalini Energy

    The story of the "Garden of Eden" in the Bible was stolen from Eridu texts in Ancient Sumeria, and the most original meaning was allegorical like most of the ancient Myths. Later on it was corrupted by the Jews who inserted their "God" Jehovah into it and made it the "original sin" to become...
