As a potential political leader, one of my great ideas is the creation of the CBA (Christian Buddhist Alliance). Christians and Buddhists have been targets of the socialists for generations. This will help the two heavily persecuted religious groups unite together to purge the enemy of Socialism...
Howdy!
We like to divide the world up into categories. This is to simplify communication among other things. If we had to be exact with our words in every case communication would take a ridiculously long time. The issue is that the categories and meanings we have in our heads tend to not all...
Howdy.
As I have been exploring around lately I keep hearing about a variety of spiritual practices people engage in. Some sound interesting while other sounds plain old silly. This being said I am pretty open to trying new things.
So with that in mind I would like to ask you all what...
I have been reading a decent bit of Chris Hedges lately. I recently got his book I don't believe in atheists. It's not about believing or not believing in atheists so much as it is about utopian idealists whether theist or atheist not being what we need in the world. He talks about the...
Howdy,
Recently I have been thinking about the prolifiration of ideology and religion within the world and how various people view truth. I have studied various religious traditions and ideologies over my lifetime and what has occurred to me is that there is no one path which fits ever being...

Following up on this thread, now Buddhist supporters of Trump are blaming Western Buddhists for the "web of lies" which Trump supporters claim was the sole basis for the Mueller probe. Read: Western Buddhists caught again in web of lies.
I had no idea until recently that Trump's Base included...
I'm a philosopher at heart. To the degree that it's a bit embarrassing when someone asks me what I do for fun because I spend most of my time thinking about, reading about, and attempting to do philosophy. Which makes religion and religious belief of great interest to me.
Where I stand myself...
Christianity seems to have become polarized. For example Christianity and science seem to be clashing; global warming being the most known example. There doesn't seem to be conflict with Buddhism and science with the dalia lama stating ''If science proves some belief of Buddhism wrong, then...
Recently have read about Buddhism and notice some similarities and differences between Christianity and Buddhism. One is love which is one of the fruits of spirit in Galatians and includes love for one enemies. Jesus said to pray for one's enemies and bless them. Also when asked greatest...
Hey all,
I am doing a project for my cultural anthropology class about the impact religion has on day to day life. I believe that religion has a significant impact on every aspect of life. To prove my theory, I am conducting a survey to see how much a persons religion impacts their general life...
I'm a 14 year old girl who lives and was born in Lebanon to a Muslim family but never believed in it. At 12, I started researching about religion. As a kid, I would believe that we suffer when living and suffering amends, I believe in karma and deities. Yet I believe in soul purity and...
